Thank you for the compliments. You all are so encouraging and inspiring with the awesome quilts/other projects I see on here. It's great to get commentary from all levels! One of these days I will try a quilt, probably sooner than I am ready for since we just found out my partner's youngest sister (he has four) is pregnant with her first child at 38!. I would love to make a quilt for the baby. That sort of prods me to get on with it! I hope to find a simple pattern, any suggestions? For now, a set of potholders is next on my list.
