It's been 20 yrs or so since I made my 1st quilt top & you can do a whole lot of them in that space of time.A neighbor said she can't believe I still love making quilts.
Gearing up to start another one right now.Buying fabric is wonderful,choosing a pattern,cutting out,then piecing blocks is all good.Squaring up the blocks is my least fav part.It's not a hobby,but a part of my life.
Do you still like making quilts.....even tho it may have been a "few" yrs since you started?

I have to respond to this topic... I get just possessed. I have only followed a pattern one time. I do lots of the memory quilts from old t-shirts. I love seeing it all come together and the laying it out and the deciding how it should be, combining of colors, making the fabric do what you want, the quilting of it... I really really love it, and with each one I get better and learn something more. I strive for perfection which I can not achieve, but it is always the goal. I also love to see the people I give them to or sell them to get excited about them. Plus quilters are very nice people....

Yes, it still is enjoyable for me.
I've been quilting about 11 years and at first I worked on a quilt almost day and night until it was finished. Silly me, in those beginning days I thought I couldn't begin another project until I finished the one I was working on. Anyway, I soon learned the ways of quilters and became invovled in trying new blocks, patterns and techniques because I was making more and more quilts which necessitated buying more and more fabrics and supplies - a never ending circle that I thoroughly enjoy being in.
