in the beginning it was cheaper to make quilts than buy baby blankets -and they are so much warmer-then it became my ME time.It has saved my husbands neck( I refuse to argue) on one or two occasions :roll: Since his passing its become my way to stay sane. And mostly I can't stand not doing something constructive.And even after quilting for all these years I still get excited about each new quilt and every step of it
