my first quilt!






















so i decided i was going to make a "real" quilt. i have been making rag quilts for quite some time now and am just tired of the squares. so a lady in my ward (chris greenall) was going to do a quilt class in her home but it was right during tax season. so she said she would just answer my questions as i had them. she just happens to be the mom to one of her girls that cleans my house, and the other daughter is giving blake FREE guitar lessons since he is her first student. so it just worked out great that when blake was learning guitar i could ask her a few questions while i was there. so i decided i would research online and then get going. so i got some fabric for a quilt to give to mike and maria since they didn't come here for christmas we still had all their gifts. so it was perfect. so it took me probably about 2 weeks about 3+ hours almost every night but i completed it! and i love it! i already have fabric for 2 more quilts. it is a nice was to get my mind off things and it's perfect because i can't eat and quilt so it's like a diet too. :)
