First Attempt at a Quilt… Project FInished



So here it is. Not bad for a first time. It only took 5 days from beginning to end. And that included touching a sewing machine for the first time.
I got frustrated at some point, because the in almost all of the instructions I found during this process really emphasized perfection. I was getting stress at imperfect seems, alignment, puckering… By the time I got to the binding, I quit fighting the fact that I am kinda sloppy, and really just wanted it finished and on my bed 🙂
It got more fun at that point. If you examine closely, and imperfections bother you, you will be horrified. I am just so excited to have this piece to accent my room, and inspiration for all kinds of sewing projects spinning in my mind. Making stuff rocks. Blessings,

That's a beautiful quilt! I love how the different black and white patterns look good together. Don't worry about imperfections – the important thing is that you enjoyed making it!

By the way, I enjoyed reading your blog and found lots of inspiration.

Best wishes,

Roz
