Well, I have finally decided to kick my fears in the butt and start the "Wedding Quilt"!!! To me, this is a VERY intimidating pattern! Of course, I started it out by telling my dear DIL to-be that since this is a block-of-the-month quilt that I will only be able to do one block a month! Whew---that gives me plenty of time to do a block, rip it out, redo it.....
Well, I sat down and did the first block and had so much fun with it that I decided to do another one today! I am trying to move slowly with it (first time sewing batiks and it is the "Wedding Quilt"), but I think it is turning out pretty good so far! Wish me luck!!!
We did change all of the fabrics as well.....will try to keep this updated!

I started with block one, intending to do them in order....however, my fav LQS is so nice, they let me use my Joann coupons there! So, I have been buying the fabric pieces only when I have a coupon and I am in town (not often). So, I don't have all the fabric bought yet and wanted to start! So, I am doing the ones that I have the fabrics for first!

You're off to a great start. Love the batiks :thumbup:

This is going to be a gorgeous quilt. Not to mention the love and sentimentality that is going into it. My avatar is the quilt I made for my own DD's wedding. I often cried and laughed out loud while working on it, just from thinking about all the wonderful years and times we had together while she was growing up. Please do post more pictures as you progress, I too would love to see it's progression. Best wishes!

natalieg 01-28-2011 06:49 PM

Just wait till the other dear DIL to-be sees it-then I might have to start another!!! Two boys engaged at the same time-I could be busy!!!

Hey there stranger! Yeah, this one has been keeping my mind running a lot lately! I am just cutting some more fabric for it right now. I was going to sew together another block tonight, but I am tired and would rather not sew while tired.

What have you been up to?
