I made my first quilt when I was about 8, with my mom's help. I actually never finished it because someone cut in the border fabric. About 11 years ago, my mom finished it and gave it to me, it was the best gift ever!! (You can see it only has two borders, lol) It is not very pretty, and it is a little torn up as you can see, but it has been the blanket that everyone has cuddled up with. Both my kids have slept with it as babies even. It is made from old scraps, so I remember a lot of the fabrics from childhood. So anyway, I decided one day that I wanted my blankie back, and would have to make a replacement! That's my story! ~Karen
