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, Classic, Holiday, Whimsical, Funky


Materials

100 % cotton with Warm & Natural Batting

What was your inspiration?

To be honest I took some ideas from the people who were in Leah Days class on how to quilt the top. Some, not all.

What are you most proud of?

This is the first time I've really tried using free motion quilting to make different designs. It was not easy and my work definitely needs improvement, but I'm learning a little at a time. I also love how the back turned out. Used my leftovers up and looks nice all randomly pieced.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Have fun!

I love your finished quilt. It's beautiful and I would be very proud to have that in my home at Christmas time. And I love that the quilting isn't perfect. It shows that it was done by a person and not a machine.

Thanks! I few blocks in I just had to accept the fact that my quilting is not going to look professional, otherwise I would've pulled my hair out :).
