I first starting making a quilt when my oldest was just a baby.  I was looking for something to do every day that couldn't be undone and I saw a lady at church who had made a beautiful faux chenille quilt for her grandbaby.  So, I got up enough nerve to ask her to show me how to do it, borrowed my mother-in-law's sewing machine, went and bought fabric and made one.  I think it was the worst thing I have ever made---but I was so proud of it.  Yes, the seams were wonky, the binding looked so bad ...
