    Default My First Tactile Quilt

    I finished my first tactile quilt with help from my girlfriend Chris. We're going to ship it off to Caring Hands in Utah.
    It took a year, mostly because I needed to wrap my head around "no rules apply....colors don't go together...etc.
    It was actually fun to do, once my friend started coming up with the embellishments. It is here, looking forward to comments and suggestions. Enjoy!

    Very sweet quilt. One of my guilds made them for an assisted living home. They were so much fun to make. The more "touchy-feely" things the better!!!

    I think you did a great job. There's lots of stuff for busy hands to fuss with. Your generosity will truly be rewarded. Thanks for sharing and inspiring.
