I have made over 100 lap/baby quilts in the last 3 years and donate them to mursing homes and to the church benevolent program. It is fun trying new patterns and going through my 'stash' and scraps finding things that go together. Friends have given me scraps and some of the fabric comes from verious discount places, 'like Good Will' and of course the local fabric shop.
I've outlived my children, so this gives me time to do the things I enjoy.
