Once someone asked me if I would make them a quilt and I said no, that I do not sew well enough. I took home ec in HS but didn't take it beyond. I learn to do what I want to make and not what someone else wants. Most of my quilts are made for my family and a few friends. There are too many colors that are hard for me to work with so it has to be a labor of love, not it has to be done. And I did have a person ask if I could make a quilt that was heavy and I said he would be better off talking to someone with an industrial machine, which I do not have. It's hard to say no but all too often when I don't I live to regret it.
