    Relaxation and fun with the end-goal in mind (all of my quilts have somebody's name on it before I start).

    because I get in a zone and forget about the world, it is very relaxing and I love the challenge of new patterns. I do expect them to be used, but my walls are also covered. I just love to quilt!!!

    I usually quilt to give away or to use at home.
