3) favorite quilting tool - 6.5 square. Just had to replace one becuse I wore out the cornors.
4) favorite quilt you have made and why? Mystery quilt from my guild that I gave to my brother. His response was and enormous hug and he I had grown so much more confident. He then gave it back so I could put a sleeve on it and he hung it on his living room wall. What an honor!
