Another awsome fabulous one from our Eddie. You make us proud to be on the same thread. The colors in this are really nice. Happy for you that you are keeping this one for yourself.
I stand in awe and am humbled by your talents. I can only hope to achieve some of what you do in a month.
Eddie, what I want to know is how in the world do you get all of these quilts done in such short time? You must cut, sew, quilt, 24/7. Surely you work at a JOB and have chores to do. Then there is raising a family, shopping, cooking, cleaning, and of course somewhere in there we are to eat and sleep. And how in the world can you afford to make so many quilts? Ok I am done.
:lol:

As to affording it all, there's two things working in my favor there - this is really my only "vice" as it were, so I indulge myself. Too, when I first got into quilting back in May, I had been in another hobby (model trains) for over a decade and had accumulated quite a lot of stuff in that. All that went onto eBay and the $$$$ from that was used to buy a LOT of jelly rolls, fat quarters, layer cakes, etc. So I got a pretty big stockpile of fabric just waiting to be made into something.

Eddie, Thanks for the info. I was being nosey and curious. Now I understand how you can afford it. My DH has alway's wanted to get into the train thing again after losing much of his to a fire we had in our basement many years ago. Do to the cost he has not.
Guess your organization skills are better than most. You must have it down to a science and me thinks you have some perfectionism traits in you, too. Unbelievable you have only been quilting since May.
Your points and rows are incredible. Thanks for sharing your talents with us. Your wife must be very proud.
