It took a year from choosing the pattern and fabric to completion, but this is my first quilt, made for my granddaughter for Christmas. I FMQ'd myself, appliqued the flowers, managed the borders and binding. It miraculously was square by the time it was ready for binding. I'll never be that lucky again! It was all new to me, I have sewn for years and had participated for several years in BOM at my local quilt shop, but I finally got brave enough to jump in. In the middle of this, my husband decided I should have a new machine so I purchased the Janome Horizon 7700. I made a quilt for my grandson in a month using layer cake squares, but sashing and 'stop' blocks were another new lesson. My grandkids and their parents were blown away as I had managed to keep it all a secret. I have learned a lot from this board and all of your resources. Can't thank you enough. I have a new happy addiction for sure. Now, if only going to work didn't get in the way of quilting!
