Quilting

I am learning to quilt.  I began last summer; summer of 2010.  I don't know why it took me sooo long to pick up this craft.  I have been sewing since I was 10 years old.  My mother bought ny my first sewing machine at that time.  It's an old metal Brother machine- I love it.  Still use it for my quilt tops. 

I have officially completed 6 quilts.  They are not all bedsize quilts.  I like quilting lap throws.  At least that is what I call them :) They stay folded up on the sofa and when you need a blanket on your lap you throw one of these on. I would say they are the perfect size.  My domestic machine will not quilt anything very much larger and I DO love to quilt my own quilts.  They are NOT perfect by any means but I love the way they turn out.
