I quilt in the winter because it's too cold to do woodworking in my shop. Basically, it's the same technique...plan, cut, and assemble. Much safer to quilt, though...also, I don't say a little prayer like I do everytime I use a power saw when doing wood working!
My grandmother let me quilt the wedding ring top she had made and it became a wedding gift for my husband and me over 40 years ago. What a special gift!
Now that it's the "IN THING TO DO" and I know others who quilt, I decided to try it and have been working at it for 3 winters now.
I use glue in fixing boo boos while woodworking and usually can fix my quilting boo boos by ripping it out and resewing!
