It has been so long since I posted. I wish I had taken a picture of my daughter's teacher quilt after it was quilted and bound. Her teacher LOVED it! And she really appreciated it as she quilts when she has time. I have handprints to make four more quilts for Jenny's second and third grade teachers.
But first, I decided to do one for myself :) I went to Moda Bake Shop and found one I loved! You can find the pattern here. It is very easy to follow, but I did learn some new lessons. I wish I had taken pictures all along, but I didn't. Here is where I am now ...
I went with a different color pallet, I used two French General favorites jelly rolls. Then I went to my LQS to find the color I wanted to use as the sashing. Finally, I tried starching my fabric before cutting. I still have some work to do to effectively use this method.
Above is the quilt on my design wall. I have sewn the top two rows, but not the rows together. I am so excited that I am getting my points to match! It's the little things that make me happy.
After I finish sewing my blocks together, then I will get started on my borders. My goal is to finish this up by Halloween. Then I have a quilt to make for my brother-in-law for Christmas.
I will update you soon! Thanks for reading! Jackie
