LOL, that was so funny! My girlfriend says that same thing....she doesn't get quilting because you take fabric cut it up and then sew it back together! Me, I like quilting because I admire the finished product, I always have. I don't know anyone that does quilt and I knew that if I ever wanted to have a quilt I would have to learn to make one, because I can't afford to buy one. I also strive to learn new things, I had a stroke some years back at the age of 35, and I know that I need to keep my brain active...its like a muscle without constant use and excercise it will atrophy.
