    Thanks for all the encouragement. None of these are full-size, but I'm soon starting a full one with a different pattern. Just to clarify, I didn't do the quilting. She is so nice. She put spaceships and stars on the Ohio Star quilt for my grandson. My label says what I've told him many times, "I love you more than all the stars in the sky."
    He is now 1200 miles away from us, and we are taking him the quilt this week!

    Hey, I'm 66 and I'm still learning. I have quilted on and off since the mid 80's but I am not nearly as good as most quilters on this board. But I still make pretty quilts and enjoy doing it. I usually do scrap quilts and use easy patterns. My creativity comes with choosing the 'scraps', layout, etc. I have done applique and more complicated patterns, but prefer scrappy. Just do what feels good to you and enjoy what you are doing.

    Your quilts look great.
