Year ago I took a quilting class from Kaye Woods and she said if the recipient of the quilt doesn't sew or quilt just buy a pre printed panel and quilt it. Save your effort for those people who know and appreciate the amount of time and money goes into making a quilt. I only make quilts for my family and that keeps me busy with baby, graduation, and marriage quilts. I have 39 members in my family with children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.
