I hope you keep us up to date on your progress. I've always wanted to take a real quilting class, but first I'd need a sewing machine and a refresher on how to use it.

And you have already taken the step to make the quilt uniquely yours by choosing fabrics that are different and that you love. I hope that the best lesson you learn is to LOVE to quilt.

One glance at that "beginner's quilt" and I'd've turned tail and RUN!!!<br /><br />My mom used to quilt - - - but being a product of the great depression, MOST of her quilting was very practical. In those days, ordinary people didn't PURCHASE a bunch of fabric to do a quilt - - - instead they made patchwork quilts using sewing scraps and good fabric out of clothing items that were flawed in some way and no longer usable as clothing. PERHAPS they did have to buy the backing & the padding, though once my mom made a quilt padding each individual block with runny hose.<br /><br />Those patchwork quilts weren't artwork when they were finished - - - but they sure were full of memories.Keetha Broyleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07850398844489825600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924158834708722465.post-84095860457025110842009-06-12T06:40:36.684-05:002009-06-12T06:40:36.684-05:00Brilliant quilt for a beginners class!
