My First Quilt

I thought I would try my hand at quilting. I went shopping and bought a rotary mat, rotary cutter, rulers and fabric. I have never used a rotay cutter and mat before so I read a bunch of tutorials. I'm pretty much teaching myself how to do this. The tutorials I have been reading are easy to follow and understand so I think I can actually pull this off...we'll see! I do have to add, that purlsoho.com was out of the cute animal fabric so I went looking on the internet for it. It was sold out everywhere so I turned to Ebay of course and low-and-behold I found some! I was so happy! I LOVE EBAY!

Anyway, this is what the quilt is supposed to look like when I am done except that I am going to use blue and green instead of blue and orange. I got the pattern and idea from this great website that my sister told me about. It is http://www.purlbee.com/. I also love the fabric they sell at www.purlsoho.com.

Ooooh, I am so excited you are quilting. I LOVE it. There are so many different styles and ways to quilt too. I have pretty much taught myself, with a few helps from my mom. I sure like it better than sewing patterns. Good Luck tootz!!

It love it. Adorable for sure. If anyone can do it you can! You have made so many adorable things. You have talents I only dream about. I made a fish tank cover once...even that didn't turn out so great.

Sewing is so much quicker and easier when you have a rotary cutter ruler and mat. I think you are really going to like it. That material is so cute!
