I bought quilts before I started quilting - the store bought quilts which are now well-used (ragged) I keep to maybe duplicate the patterns. I have two handmade quilts that are in desperate need of being redone that were given to me by friends who no longer wanted them - I hope to redo them at some time and return them to the friends. I have started a new york beauty for myself which gets put to the back burner when a new project comes along. I have made many, many lap quilts as prayer quilts and those all have been given away. I love all quilts.
