I have always love snuggling with a quilt that one of my grandmothers made. I preferred quilts over blankets all my life, and when I found I could make them not only like my grandmother did, out of leftover scraps of our clothing that we made, but also create something that gave meaning to someone, I fell in love with the craft. Also, like amandasgramma said, quilts are much more appreciated than my painting were. I gave away a few of those, but they go out of style with new decor.... To me and my family quilts will never go out of style, as they have love sewn into them and can be passed down to others. It is a good thing to do. :)
