I am so excited I spent most of yesterday cutting out all my fabrics, itching to use my new sewing machine that dh bought me for christmas. I have never done any quilting before and my sewing skills are OKish, I can sew in a straight line.

After having a few probs with the automatic needle threader I practiced on a bit of scrap material and then I went for it. I have now done 2 blocks and all my seams line up which was the thing that I was worried about most. I think it had a lot to do with ironing before I stitched each strip together. I am so pleased with myself and needed to share LOL

Congratulations!

Congrats. Careful...it is highly addictive.

Woohoo! The start of somethings beautiful..your quilt and quilting career. Btw, we love pics

Congratulations and good job. I've been sewing for ages and still have trouble with those straight lines...I(My husband has noted that I veer to one side when walking!) If you've already done two blocks, you may be hooked. Quilting is a great hobby.

Yeah for you! Measure twice, press, cut & sew once! [You hope...] I'm also big on using starch, helps me-others may not agree, it's one of those you love it/you hate it things, but worth a try to see if it works for you. Proud of you!

Great start!! Keep going it will get more addictive and you will enjoy it. I have only completed one quilt and I have enjoyed it so much I have a list a mile long of quilts I want to make. You will find tons of help and encouragement here. The ladies here are great.

That's awesome!!!!!!!!!! So glad you shared! :D

Woohoo! Congratulations!

Congrats !! You are on your way !!
