I just finished my very first quilt! Hooray!
Our darling shop dog, Branwyn, and I took a trip to the park to celebrate.
There are so many cute little prints that fly through Fancy Tiger--I can't resist them all, so I often get a quarter yard of this and of that. I decided I had to start to quilt with my little fabric treasures. For my first quilt I chose a lot of cute little Japanese prints in soft greens, teals and grays and some brighter prints in tomato reds. I sewed them up into a simple log cabin patchwork quilt top.
For the back I pieced together five strips of fabric in bright corals. The bold color makes me happy!
I'm kind-of-so-excited about quilting now. I've already started on my next one!
