I started quilting to get rid of fabric left over from making lots of clothes over the years. Ha, Ha! The pile has been accumulating astronomically. At first I was making only charity quilts. I have eight children, 3 step children and 21 grandchildren. I didn't even think about making quilts for all of them. But one year I made 7 full size quilts. That's when I realized, "I can do this!" My "pile of quilts" is getting bigger, and soon I will have a quilt party and everyone can pick out the one they want. (My pile of fabric just gets bigger, also. LOL)
