In the last two years I've given away about 10 quilts, all masterpieces in my own mind. what becomes of them after I gift them matters not to me.
After her death I brought home the double sided quilt I made for my little sister, and I've been cutting it into pieces when burying a beloved pet, another one this morning, I can't really say why other than it brings her closer somehow and since we don't have children we value our pets very highly
i love your quilts because of their complexity. your colors are wonderful. i too only make complex designs w many many small to tiny pieces which my quilting acquaintences both "ooh" & tease me about. i think of something said by sally collins in an article i read several years ago ..i think she has it on her web page too ..something like "it's not the quantity, but the quality". my motto ..i don't count, i just enjoy, nay ..
love, creating the most attractive and complex quilts i can for recipients that always love & treasure my creations.
