Thank you for the Welcome! I get the email to this site everyday and decided to join! The quilt was my first and I made it for my mother-in-law's Family reunion last Sept. Alot of her family members signed it with an acid free pen, putting family names and dates on it and was really surprised! Especially my mother-in-law! She knew I could sew, but didn't know I attempted such a big king sized quilt! It was a happy day, with lots of soldiers in the family from Texas and everyone was thrilled to meet me.
