I have always loved quilts, and always wished I could make one. When I was a teenager my sister in law made one for my mother. It was just a simple 6 inch square patch that she hand sewed and used a sheet for the backing. She wasn't a sewer or a quilt maker so it was, as I said simple. It had no batting and wasn't quilted but she did a great job on it doing it "her way". Since that quilt I have always wanted to make one, but haveing no one to teach me and being a teenager I had other things to do. Now that the internet is so informative I have finally been able to teach myself with the help of those who really know, like the great pople on this board. I quilt because I LOVE it! I love seeing the finished product of something I did myself.
