Hi there!
I'm 22 years old, live in Texas.
I am relatively new to quilting. The first quilt I finished was for my mom and dad's anniversary, this past March. I had their names and wedding date embroidered on it, and machine quilted it myself. I only have a photo of the top but here it is:
I am working on a quilt for my grandparents right now, their 50th anniversary is in a month. I really need to get it finished. I got all the fabric cut and sorted into the shapes, and sewed the first star last night. I was so pleased with it, I took so much time carefully cutting and it paid off, all of the seams lined up PERFECTLY in the star. The edges are another matter but I think I can trim it okay.
Here is the pattern:
and the fabrics I chose:
Anyway, I just got a bunch of "charm" squares in lots of great colors. 2" and 4" squares. I saw a pattern once that used lots of colorful squares only on a white background and formed diagonal lines criss crossing. I can't seem to find one like that online, I know I had it before in my bookmarks but I lost it.
Does anyone know of any free patterns online like that? Or anything cool I could do with these using a white bg?
Later I will be making a quilt in fall colors for my MIL but I have no idea what pattern I will use for her :)
Thanks and I look forward to chatting with everyone!!
