I've only been quilting since 2002. I made clothing, mainly for my granddaughter, then we started homeschooling her in '02, so she didn't need any school clothes. Well, what am I to do with all this fabric?LOL I collected fabrics before quilting. Anyway, there was a group in the little town that we were in, that had an ad in the little free paper, looking for scraps, spare change, people to help, etc., to make quilts and donate to the local shelters. So, I took all my scraps, was determined I wasn't going to quilt though. I'd tried that many years ago, but then I found out about rotary cutters, mats, rulers, etc. Anyway, I've made about 100 quilts, baby size to twin, all tied, and all donated. I'm working on what I'm calling a kimono quilt for a dear Japanese friend, have a Triple Irish Chain in the works for me, a snowball top finished, ready to quilt and plans and fabrics for another 6 quilts. I just need more time.LOL
