Do you dare to break the rules?

SuzSLO; does SLO stand for the town in California. I went to University there.
The quilting is usually evenly distributed. Sometimes the quilting is the design. Or maybe I'll ditch it then add decorative quilting.
I learned the hard way about poly batting. Now I use cotton 80/20, bamboo, wool. I'd love to try silk.
Most of my learning is the hard way. I'm trying to learn I don't need to reinvent the wheel.

I hear you about learning the hard way. We all do it!

I do not like the colour pink, but it is my best friends favourite colour.
I tried to make her a pink Morning Star Quilt, but I could not do it, I had to add purple.
My quilting time is limited, so I make what I want.

I just gifted 26 Xmas quilts, (to use up my Xmas fabrics-didn't work- still have 2 totes) I mixed fabrics, used some patterns or just what I came up with and made them any size they turned out to be-mostly lap to smallish full size and scrappy backs too. I probably broke lots of rules, but my family liked them.
