1st quilt… step one

February 3rd, 2009

This is what I have been working on…

…but before you ooohhh & ahhh too much I must confess that the middle six squares are a cheater quilt panel from Denyse Schmidt’s Country Fair line from Pink Chalk Fabrics. Nonetheless, I LOVE it. The catch is that I have no idea how to quilt it, nor do I know how to bind it, and I have little clue what the back is going to look like or where I am going to find fabric to do it, AND I haven’t sorted out what I want the batting to be either! HA! But it is a start and something to learn some new skills with! I am not committing to any time frame for this to be complete, so don’t hold your breath to see the finished results, but I really have enjoyed doing something on this scale– more than I thought. The final measurements are set to be 66″x75″, apparently a great “family” sized quilt.

Very CUTE! I’m impressed. I have never attempted to quilt so good luck!

did you finish it? I love it! I thought about buying that kit at Pink Chalk Studio but didn’t. Only because I really have way too much fabric for a novice as it is.

Sadly, no. I have not finished it. I went and had a baby and that has taken up every second of my free time… that and cleaning up after a two year old! HA. BUT I did buy the fabric for the binding and back, so that is progress. I would like to say that you can never have too much fabric… but I am starting to think otherwise, he he! Sew On!

Tell me what you think, I love to hear from you!
