Learn It

This project was made as part of a Craftsy course:
Craftsy Block of the Month 2013 with Laura Nownes »

Instructions

I think they look good.....but they are not the same size. I've not mastered the seam allowance on my machine so my pieces are all off. I'm also trying to get used to the ruler used for quilting. I can't find a manageable version like our instructor. This is my first attempt at quilting so I think I did good to start. Or maybe not.

Difficulty:

Category: Quilting

Type of item: Home Decor

For: Home

Style: Mod, Traditional, Funky


Materials

I used fat quarters that I purchased from Joann Fabrics. I'm not too fond of spring colors so I wanted to try something darker for the project.

What was your inspiration?

I love the fabrics in my pieces. I worried they wouldn't go together but they turned out great.

What are you most proud of?

Still working on that

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

You must get the seam allowance correct otherwise the sizes will be off.

You should be proud that you at least got them to look good, practise is the key a bit each day will help. I love your choice of colors its going to look great its funny how you think colors dont go together but when you put htem into a block they look fantastic. Kerri
