Well my next quilt will be interesting, same exact thing, just bigger.

However this is material my other grabbed. I told her I wanted to do a dog quilt, thinking cute cartoony dogs, she brought me back more of a hunter real life dog fabric and a dark copper marbled fabric. It's not something I would have picked but I think it will be okay.

So far I've only quilted the squares with my walking foot. I think my machine might not be the best thing for doing free motion quilting....even though it wasn't cheap (to me $500 plus tax seems like alot at first) I was looking at a few of the machine I've seen people use in tutorials....and let me TELL you....$1400 on a machine....I almost fell out of my chair. I'm sure they'll worth it, it's a hobby and we all can spend a a pretty penny on it....but up front I just wanted something on the lower end.

Thanks so much for being so welcoming!
