Let me introduce you to my first quilt top I have EVER made, I had to take a sewing class before I was allowed to take the Sampler class since I hadn't sewn since Home-Economics in middle school! I received my sewing machine Christmas 2010, it was a gift from my husband.
This is it, I truly loved my first experience! Even if I made my Quilting teacher extra nervous with all of my non-muted shades. I was supposed to choose a variety of neutrals I found out after class started. Oops, but it all worked out and she was a bit shocked as she put it...hehehe (Sampler class taken: Jan. - Feb. 2011) This Beginner's Sampler Quilt is made of of 6 blocks (from left to right); a rail fence, drunkard's path, 8 pointed star and the bottom row is 3 different variable stars I also designed myself. This still needs to be batted, quilted and binded. If you notice the outside border is mitered, I taught myself how to do that and the square corners out of a book I would recommend to anyone who wants a quick and easy how to guide with great pictures, it is called The Quilting Bible -3rd Edition and I still find myself using it.
