Here is one of the first quilts that I made -- can't even remember the date it was so long ago. I just dug it out of the linen closet so I could show it to my quilt friends. I used some material that wasn't the best combination. The green is fine, but the other print is a very flimsy material and bunched up a bit after washing. I think that's why I have kept it hidden away, so it won't get wrecked. I am a little nostalgic about my efforts from long ago. Things are so different now -- better materials, better methods, etc. etc. I used to make templates out of cardboard -- now I just use a straight edge ruler, rotary cutter and matt. So much better and faster!!! I am the most impatient when it comes to completing a quilt -- not a good attribute to have!!
