I've started quilting about 20 years ago and I think it takes me 5 or 6 years to quilt like I do today. I am still learning with every new quilt I start! The quality of the material is very important, therefore I am very discerning (is this the right word for it?) with fabrics, threads and battings. Also designing a wholecloth is always a big challenge and when I have finshed one I always think I could have done better...
