Some of you are luckier than I was in that you have time to "dread" your first quilt. I was maybe 9 or 10 when my grannie got me started on my quilt journey--minus proper rulers, olfa cutters, cutting mat, (every quilty advantage you can think of), and I still have a big problem making the first step on starting a new quilt......my advice to you is "just do it" grandkids be damned......you were there first. Find Pa and tell him it is his turn at the bat. Right now I am in that "dread" position because I am in the mindset of "getting things ready to travel to TX for my grandson's wedding; I hate to be in that creative mood when I have sixty other things that I have to do first. Y'know?????
