  9. I can't wait to see this book. I've just started quilting this past December and I am really enjoying exploring the different types of styles of quilt making. I haven't found my niche just yet but I like the smaller projects as I am always so anxious to see the outcome and just can't wait months and months to see what it will look like in the end. :) I really love the table runners and quilts you have been making lately.
