My first quilt

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

Difficulty:

Category: Quilting

Type of item: Home Decor

For: Home

Style: Retro / Vintage, Classic


Materials

I used a variety of quilt weights, an imported ikat woven fabric, and seersucker on the back.

What was your inspiration?

this was a birthday present for my man and I wanted it to suit him and his decor.

What are you most proud of?

this is my very first quilt! I am happy that it really turned out perfectly.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

quilting takes a lot of time and patience, so don't give up when it becomes overwhelming!
