New Hobby: Part Three

I did it! I did it! I measured the fabrics, cut them and began sewing my squares.

Please meet the beginnings of the Pink Explosion quilt...

I know my fabric isn't cut anywhere straight and my seams are no where near 1/4". But they are cut and sewing. Got to start somewhere, right?

New Hobby: Part Two

I am a lot like my Grandmother- I am not a pink girl! I don't like pink, I don't have a lot of pink things in my house/closet and I don't like adult women that wear head to toe pink.

I did a search on "how to make a quilt" and stumbled across a great blog, http://flossieteacakes.blogspot.com/2011/03/tutorial-how-to-make-patchwork-quilt.html. I have followed this step by step, kudos on all the help!!!

I picked out fabrics from my Grandmothers stash. Not sure why I was set on pinks, maybe it is due to the blog above having pink fabrics in the pictures (I am easily swayed on things).

I can believe all the pink fabrics I choose. I have read how hard it is to match up fabrics and I think I have done pretty well for a true newbie to this whole crafty thing.

Now let's get quilting!
