I tell my mom it's all her fault. She suggested "us girls" should make a quilt for our new little niece, the daughter of my youngest sister. The other 2 older sisters offered to send me fabric but that was it. I decided to do the sunbonnet sue pattern and had so much fun picking fabrics and doing the applique I've been hooked since, that was in the year 2000. When I tease my mom about this "disease" I've acquired she just chuckles & says how was she to know I'd take to it like I did. She just should have known, after all her mom liked pretty fabrics too. We both just laugh.
