You know you are a quilter when you see patterns in things around you and you wonder how they would look in a quilt..
You know you are a quilter when you realize that if your car gets lost in a snowstorm that you can survive wrapping yourself in the bolts of fabric that are with you.
You know you are a quilter when the policeman asks, "Do you have any weapons with you?" you have to consider all the cutting tools.
