If you've been quilting as much as I have, you know how expensive materials can get. That's why it's comforting to know not all quilts have to be BIG.

Quilting: My New Obsession

How it’s come to this.

My very first quilt. It seems I've fallen hard down the quilting rabbit hole. This recent obsession has me reflecting on how I ended up here because it wasn't as simple as flicking on a light switch.
