Do you quilt? I’ve wanted to learn for a while now, but Craftsy classes just didn’t seem like enough for me. What if I had a question as I was going through the pattern?

I even tried a block of the month quilt. However after I signed up, the colors were changed. I really didn’t like the new swapped out colors, but I was charged for them and that’s what I got. They’re in a box in my sewing room…

Then at my last class at Central Sewing I saw a lovely quilt on the wall. There was an upcoming class for that lovely quilt too. I asked if it was a beginner class. Yes it was.

Great! Sign me up. Isn’t this lovely? Knowing nothing about quilts or quilt-making I had no idea of all the work that needed to go into this.

However, I was signed up. Again, knowing nothing, I didn’t want to try and put fabric colors together myself. The pattern called for a Layer Cake, so I got one.       I love these colors and prints! Benefitting a cause is always a good thing too.

So, again, knowing nothing about quilting… The pattern suggests if this is your first quilt to do the smaller quilt. It comes in two sizes. Well, why would I do that? Yes, I made the larger one because I didn’t know what I was doing.

It was a lot of work. A LOT! And it’s not quite done yet. Here’s my quilt top almost done. Looking at how close it was to fitting my bed, I’ve decided to add another border to the edges to make it fit. I might need more than one so it drapes over the side.

So it’s not quite done yet.

Everyone is saying now you’ll be addicted to quilting. I don’t think so. I’ll make a couple more for my kids, but bra sewing is my passion.

Happy quilting creating!
