I've been sewing since I was a child and made my first quilt in 1978. I found this board while doing an internet search for a specific fabric that I needed to finish a quilt and a member had several yards for sale.
I have a lousy sense of color and just being able to post my projects in progress and get opinions on colors means the world to me. I would never have attempted an OBW (and would never have even known what it is) if I hadn't seen the thread about them. I would never have known about I Spy quilts and finished four of them so far. I love when people post photos of family members and pets with their quilts as I live alone and my family is far away.
