A closer look
Is this your project? Can you share instructions or a pattern with the Craftsy community?

Difficulty:

Category: Quilting

For: Home

Style: Traditional


Materials

Warm Memories Charm Pack...coton

What was your inspiration?

Took an online class.

What are you most proud of?

The finished product....doing it all start to finish on my own. Th most challenging for me was hand sewing the binding on the back. Took several starts before I was comfortable with how it looked.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Practice makes perfect. It's a very basic quilt - but a wonderful way to start.

I had to come over and check out your project after your praise of my baby star quilt. I can't believe this is your first project...you did a great job! The first thing I ever made I ended up throwing in the trash...it was such a mess and damaged beyond repair I couldn't even finish it. Keep up quilting, you will find the more projects you work on and the more mistakes you learn from the better you get. I used to hand sew the back of my binding but I would sew it too tight sometimes and distort my quilts. Kinda made them crooked. Go to the quilt in a day websight if you want to start doing it all by machine...Elenor has wonderful free videos. Keep up the good work!

Thank you so much for your encouraging comment. Using pre-cuts feels a little like cheating - but I'm so enjoying myself!!
