I've always wanted to make a quilt but never actually did it. For my birthday in September. N bought me three quilting books so I talked a friend into making a quilt with me. We picked out a simple pattern for a lap quilt and got to work.
It was fun picking out fabrics. I decided to make mine grey, blue and red to match our living room. I didn't take any photos while making it - I need to get better at that. :-\
Making the quilt took a while - I think we started the quilts at the end of September and finished them on December 19th - very very late at night. Our goal was to finish them before Christmas and we did! :-)
I'm happy with how it turned out and it looks great in my living room!
I quilted along the edges of the coloured strips. I used my sewing machine and a zig-zag stitch.
The quilt was a great pattern for beginners and I would definitely make the same one again. The pattern came from
Quilting 101: A Beginner's Guide to Quilting - a great book for new quilters.
