I made my first quilt about 10 years ago. I made it in a "class" with friends at church. Finished the top in the all nighter we did and then came home, pulled a bunch of fabrics and made my 2nd one (I did a lot of crafting and so had the fabric collecting down before I started quilting) The rest is history... I have completed over 80 quilts, not including any wall hangings or placemats or table stuff.
