a quilting adventure..


So over the past week i've ventured into quilting...we went to joann fabrics and i found a quilt kit which is more of a blanket kit but i thought it would get me started ya know? So i picked out a baby one that has duckies on it..my new nephew loves his little duck toys, so this fits! I messed up and cut pieces too short so there are 4 squares in each corner :) IT STILL LOOKS LIKE A BLANKET THOUGH!! here it is, in all it's rubber duckie glory..




I also made some "test" purses,worked with interfacing, blah blah blah..but after finding this pretty pretty pretty fabric..i decided to make something for myself.

Now this never happens. I feel as though if i'm making something for someone else, it HAS to get done so i can see their face when they open it. Well, I got the quilt top done in just a few hours! I love it and I cant believe I actually made it :) I mean it's a basic pattern but it feels awesome to make something new! Here it is!
