I remember when i was a little girl, playing under the quilting frame at Moms 'sewing circle'. then in HS i made a quilted tweety bird purse. it was pretty awful. when my kids were small, i made them big floor pillows with quilted fronts. then about 10 years ago i made my first baby quilt. it was a latge strip log cabin from an easy baby quilt book. i have used it often and bought the sequel and have used it too.
