I was given a top made of old, I mean old 30's prints by a woman who was my quilting buddy for years, she has since passed away at the age of 92 and the preacher told the people attending her funeral that she was quilting in heaven.

It is sad but true, the quilter is often overlooked when it comes to being given a quilt of her/his own that someone has made specifically for her/him. IMHO, what is even sadder is someone not appreciating the quilt you gave them.

I've been stewing over a pattern I found that I want to try. I've already got a quilt in the works for 2013 raffle quilt at our church and was thinking I don't need to get too far ahead.

DUH???? Why not make it for ME?

I was given one for my 40th Birthday! It is a rag quilt made of cotton and the makers of it went around and got all the hand prints of the special little people in my life (my kids, nephews etc.) and sewed them plus their names on it. It moved me to tears!!! I absolutely love it!!!!

when you find one that allows fabric, rotary cutter, machines, etc. - let me know

I have quilts from my Gramma and Nana both whom have passed. Two are made with Fortrel so they will be around long after I am gone. So I have traditional quilts

Actually I've been given two, but in truth, both of them were before I actually started quilting. I suppose they both helped convince me that people "who cut up pieces of perfectly good fabric into small pieces and then sew them back together" are not really crazy!

Have you ever gotten strange looks from people when you tell them you quilt?

I second that emotion. It's true... so many projects, so little time...
