I needed a baby gift for my boyfriend's sister and decided to make a quilt. little did i know it would turn into a new addiction. I made this in February of this year and am now on baby quilt #3! Did i mention that I used a school ruler and a magnetic scrapbook mat to cut out the pieces? I have since purchased a good cutting mat, ruler and rotary cutter. :) I really am surprised that it turned out as square as it did.

Very nice! I think you're hooked!

and the only thing i could find to trace the quilting lines was sidewalk chalk!! HAHAHA this pic is before it was quilted

Wow! great job...

Great Job!

Welcome from Louisiana:) I love first quilts. Yours is great:) Thanks for sharing.

Wow great job....way to use what you had at the time

I use chalk all the time to mark my straight lines, just the regular old cheap school chalk!

I love how the white stars wink on the blue squares -- random, like a real sky!
Welcome to the addiction!

I have since purchased actual quilting pens, pencils etc and to be honest I think the chalk works better! :) i'm going to keep using it.
