This is fun - nice to see how we all started. Mine was a hand pieced ohio star - it was a single block that I needed to do for a friendship quilt. I had no idea what I was doing (and wouldn't be surprised if they'd needed to take it apart and start over. ) But, it got me to start pondering the idea of this as a hobby. Several years later, I did my first real quilt, and it was a rail fence.
