How many quilters among us?

Pretty quilts everyone! Here's a photo of a baby quilt I made for a colleague, being held by the Mom-to-be.


IMHO baby quilts should be bright and cheerful, not pastel.

I've been quilting since high school, although didn't finish a bed sized quilt until after college. I had a grandmother that was a quilter, and like her, I prefer doing the tops instead of the quilting. On larger quilts, I tend to commission the quilting part, with mixed results.

Best quilting advice from my grandmother: "When you see fabric you like, buy it. That way, when you go to work on a quilt, you'll have a nice palette to work from." This is from a woman who was a child of the Depression. She also was from the school of "waste not, want not."

She who has the most fabric wins!
