Well being new to quilting and commenting, as I am only on my third quilt, but in a month, so I am moving right along. I also started a "lap" quilt which I am taking the quilting apart because it looks awful....
So, I started a blog, and posted about the quilts I am making and made.
I have a few old quilts from my grandmother which I posted as I don't know the patterns or how they were made.
I gave one of my 9 granddaughters my second quilt, which if you go to my blog, you would see how much work was involved (of course) but she helped sew about 120 of the 2 1/2" squares, so is involved.
I gave it away with good feelings that it will be used, abused or whatever, if I wanted to just look at it in a cupboard, I don't think I would have started being addicted to quilting.
So be generous of heart, your quilts are being used, and one day someones says to the recipient. "Where did you get that" and your story is told.
Thisis my first post on this site too.
