First Quilt

So I am on the last step of the first quilt I have ever made (attaching the binding). I have sewn a variety of items over the years including placemats, pillowcases, one skirt, and curtains. A few months ago I decided to make a "test" quilt. You see I am going to be an aunt in November and wanted to make my niece or nephew a quilt. The only problem was I had never made a quilt before. Since I can be a perfectionist I decided making a "test" quilt would be wise and not make the baby quilt the first ever. This past weekend I finally pieced all of my rows together and then pieced all three layers. Now the only thing I have left is to put the binding on. There have definitely been some hiccups along the way, but all in all I think that it has turned out quite well. After looking at some quilting blogs today I am tempted to do some more quilting of my quilt. I am really excited to start the fabric hunt for the baby quilt with my sister when she is in town next week. Once I get the binding attached I will post pictures.

  2. Woo hoo! A blog and the quilting project. I can't wait to see it in person, and then to read about the process of the baby quilt from afar.

    Go Sissy!
