    Maggie - your quilt is beautiful. Whats the difference between a mid arm and a long arm. And please don't say the space between the thing is wider, lol I'm referring to the entire set up of them. I have seen people's set up of LA but not quite sure about mid arm Are they more affordable?

    I make every quilt just for me but somehow or other they manage to find new homes - which only means I have to make another quilt just for me. There's always one in progress and usually someone wanting it ... I did manage to keep the second one I made because we use it every night and it is HEAVY and WARM. Made from colored denim squares with a fleece blanket backing (no batting) and tied - when it needs washing it goes to the local laundromat and into the commercial washer and dryer because there is no way I can stuff it into my domestic machines

    I don't want to be a dull old lady, would like lovely summery colors.

    I have several tops made, just for me, but nothing quilted. My quilt will be Hearts in Bloom, whenever my frame is empty. It's not very well done, but it is my own "not very well dne". I was still at the crawling stage of learning to piece! LOL

    Oh, so many, how to choose? I would love a log cabin in soft colors, red, green brown, cream, beige, but it would have to be light in weight, can"t stand the heavy weight anymore on my feet. I have a log cabin UFO in blue and yellow but lost interest long ago. I am in love with the 4 patch posies also the floral log cabins. Too old to make one of each, what to do???

    I've got 1 hanging on the back of my recliner right now. It's a log cabin quilt featuring blue roses - my favorite flower. I also have a blue rose tattoed on my shoulder (anniversary gift from my dh several years ago). :lol:

    I have made some quilts for "myself", but when family comes over, I end up giving almost all of them away. The smile on their faces is worth it all!
