I started one in 2004 to have something to work on during the trips taking my son to college from northern MI to Ann Arbor. Got 7 blocks done before giving him my old car to use.I just bought the DVD to print out the patterns and start again. You have given me hope to contine and shown I don't only use white in the background. By the way, his college quilt got burned up in his condo when he was out to sea in a submarine.
