I came to quilt-making very late in life, although I've been making my own clothes almost all my life. I made a whole-cloth enbroidered quilt as a wedding gift for my nephew, my first pieced-block quilt was presented to the son of my very good friend who served in the US Army and was seriously injured in Afghanistan. I have finished the quilt top for a log cabin for a spread for my bed (a giant quilt--I won't make one that big again), I'm working on a quilt for my youngest sister (she bought all the materials), and I have plans for a quilt for my oldest sister, too. I also have (if it can be found) a quilt of embroidered state flower blocks, all assembled, which my cousin was going to quilt for me, but she died December 17, 2016, and thus far, my niece has not found the quilt top. I surely hope the quilt top is found, because my 89 year old aunt embroidered those blocks and they meant a lot to me because she made them! I am 71 (going on 72) and have serious back problems so it takes me sooooooo long to complete a quilt! I would love to be able to make quilts for my nieces and nephews, but there are so many I don't think I could get that many made. One of my nephews has 5 children -- to be honest, I live 1000 miles away from most of them and farther away for others -- I've lost count. And that's just on my side of the family. On my husband's side, there are 5 more, so I think I'd better stop with my son and my sisters!
