I’ve been away for a while dealing with other projects but I’ve created my first quilt top (above), created the quilt “sandwich” (quilt top, batting and backing in solid yellow) and quilted the quilt (which probably sounds redundant but isn’t.

Not surprisingly I’ve made every single error that a new quilter makes. When I’m cutting the fabric if I’m off even an eighth of a inch on each block that translates to a full inch on each row or column. Additionally, the rows and columns don’t match up.

On the whole, I’m pretty pleased with the outcome. Next up is binding the edges of the quilt and then the quilt will be complete.

For my next project I’ll be creating some sample blocks to get more precision in my cutting and trying free-motion quilting. Stay tuned !!
