My oldest is just over 20 years old. I had decided I was going to make a quilt. I went to the library and poured through 4 or 5 quilting books and attempted to copy the patterns I liked on graph paper, along with drawing the templates. I then went to the fabric store and bought all of the fabric I thought I'd need for the top. I had decided to do a Queen size "Bulls Eye" or "Doe & Darts". LOL That put me off of quilting for more than 15 years! There is so much bulk in the seams and I don't think I have one single good point. Plus at that time, I had no idea how of the many different techniques I could have used to perfect it. So, there it sits a UFO with about 4 columns of blocks that are absolutely horribly pieced. Oh yes! I sewed the blocks in columns, not rows.
Now that I am a bit more experience, I still can't bring myself to finish it, even though I really do love the fabrics.
:lol:
