Quilt

            Sorry it has been so long since I have blogged, my days have been full of programs, school, and like a million other things!  So today I actually have some down time to blog!  Today I have decided to blog about a quilt I made about a year ago at a quilting class.  A friend of mine asked me to go to this quilting class at her house, so I decided to go, and I learned how to quilt by making this one.  It was very fun seeing it come together, it took a lot of measuring, cutting, and sewing all the pieces together, but I love sewing so it went by fast.  I found the pattern in one of my great grandmas quilting books, and I thought it looked hard and fun.  Which is what it ended up being.  When I had the pattern picked out, I looked at my mom’s fabrics, as soon as I saw the greens and blues with the creamy white backing I knew that’s what I wanted, so I brought it to my class.  One mistake I did make was in the measuring; I got mixed up with measurements on the green fabric and started cutting it an inch short.  Thankfully we had extra fabric so that could be fixed, but it took a lot of extra time to seam rip out the one’s I’d messed up, cut and sew new pieces on!  When my quilt was finished I entered it into our county fair and it won the Judges Choice award, besides a first place ribbon!  

 This Picture above is my quilt with its award.
