I make too many boo boo's to ever enter my quilts to be judged. I just like to use my hands to sew and see what results happen. I am making a replica of my mother's tulip wedding quilt and I can see my stitches are not as good as the old one but oh well. I am enjoying making except I am ready to be finished with it. A couple more months. I am going to add another piece to the bottom to make it longer so it can fit on a twin bed. I will use a "quilt as you go" to do that.
