First Quilt
Last weekend, my Thursday night knitting group met at Kathy's house for a quilting demonstration. We had two working machines (mine was working so well) and four people making small quilts. I added extra fabric at the top so it can be hung on the wall. This wall quilt will go to my niece, Ava, for her bedroom. Or, if my sister doesn't like it, then it'll go to my stepmother for her my niece's (same Ava) bedroom there. The grandparent's house is her home-away-from-home. :)
I think it came out pretty good for my first time. It's my first finished sewing project as well, come to think of it. I attempted to sew straight "X" lines through each square and the border is folded over and mitered. I'm pretty happy with it. Kathy took pictures of everyone's finished project, so hopefully she'll either post them or give us the pictures. I forgot to recharge my camera before I went to her house. Oops!
Anyway, thanks again Kathy and Betty for showing us how to make a quilt and for letting us take over your house for the day!
Great job! It's really cute and perfect for a child. I still haven't touched my sewing machine. :(

Lovely quilt! I've been afraid to try making one because I might find it addicting and I don't need another hobby :)
