My Latest Project

Our ward started an quilting Enrichment group just recently, which I was SOOOO excited about. I have always wanted to learn to quilt, but just didn't really know how to get started. So here we go! We are just starting with a pillow so that we can have the satisfaction of completing a project (making a big quilt with a group of beginners might not be such a good idea!). Anyway, here is mine so far...I need to find fabric for the border and the back and then finish putting it together. Oh and I have to unpick one row again, which will make it 7 times, because I can't quite get the lines and points to match up on that one row and it is driving me CRAZY!! Hopefully when you look at the picture it will all look just PERFECT. It has really been fun though and I am learning a lot. Next we learn how to hand stitch the border on, etc. so it might get a little more technical and time consuming, but it is really fun. Before our four years are up here, it is my goal to make a big quilt. I better get started now....

Wow.. you are amazing... I always say that I want to start something, but never do. From the pictures, it looks like a beautiful, PERFECT quilt. Show the final project when you are done.
Go Crescent!

Good job, Sis! I just barely finished my quilt block for my class this month tonight. It's fun huh! I can't wait to become way professional so I can make totally wicked awesome quilts.
