No-More-Guilt Quilt

So my mother-in-law has been quilting since James can remember. She goes to conventions, teaches classes, and fills their house with quilts in various stages of completion. Some have themes, some have hidden pictures or puzzles, some are simple while others are busy and full of life. James has a quilt that his mother made him as a boy with applique trains, cars, planes and other boy-centric machines that now graces our front room for cold weather. It's a twin size, which is perfect for curling up in front of the TV. In fact, all of the quilts James' mother made for him up to his marriage to me were twin sized. She called them Guilt Quilts, meant to encourage single occupancy until she made the Wedding Quilt. With four children established in happy, functional marriages (and one to go) it must be working on some level.
