Amazon.....your comments about waiting until one has time, or after I get this done, etc really hit home for me. My mom sewed all her life and her "dream" was to quilt when she retired. She saved all her fabric scraps for 40+ years. She never did get to make a quilt and now at age 90, her eyesight and other health issues will keep her from doing so. My dad did make many quilts after he retired....the first one, he thought he would just help mom out by cutting the pieces. Then when mom's plate was still too full he started putting some pieces together. Bottom line, my mom only got to help with placement of the blocks. During my dads' 30 years of retirement he made on average two quilts a year. So I am thinking your are so right,......follow your dreams and do what you want now....no matter what it takes to make it happen, and don't listen to the nay sayers.
