I have 4, small, hand-tied quilts that I've kept over the 10 years that I've been quilting. They're not the best of the bunch. All of the other, better quality, quilts were given away to family, friends and charity. This year, I really wanted to make some quilts for our own home. I keep thinking that it is very selfish of me to do that, but what the heck...so what if I'm, "selfish."

My kids keep hinting that they need more quilts, but it's me first this year.
