Quilting - Purpose?
#122
My quilts are usually sewn for fun....once in a while, with a purpose in mind (such as a baby gift) but mostly for fun because I see fabrics that I have found and would love to make a quilt with them.

My first quilt projects was to use up old quilt pieces I got from relatives. I made 17 lap quilts and gave to Nursing homes. Then I made myself my first one. Again using up what I had. I enjoy sewing and found to make clothes for myself was no longer enjoyable. I like the creativity and the challenge of making a quilt. My second quilt was a Christmas quilt. Then I acquired more material from a relative and made a tumbling block. That will be a good summer quilt. I think now I am just going to make tops. I can store easily enough and when time comes to give to someone, I can tie or have it quilted. But mainly I make them so I have something to sew, then to keep busy and be creative.
