Learn It

This project was made as part of a Craftsy course:
Craftsy Block of the Month 2012 »

Difficulty:

Category: Quilting

Type of item: Functional

For: Home

Style: Mod, Casual


Materials

Moda "California girl" fat quarter bundle. Kona "snow" white fabric, For sashing and boarders I used shirt weight denim. (Had to starch it quite a bit to make it easier to use)

What was your inspiration?

I have been so inspired by all of the other crafty quilters who made comments along the way every time I posted pictures. It kept me moving forward with the project until I finished. I was also inspired by looking at the pictures that others posted. (Now I just have to get it quilted!) Thank-you everyone!

What are you most proud of?

Finally getting it all together. I am happy with how it looks. I wanted it to be a casual quilt with a spring/summer feel to it. I think I achieved that.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

It's not too late to do this course. I learned so much along the way. This is such a great way to learn new skills!
