Whew! Ok! I have officially started this quilt! My first class was Wednesday night and I LOVE it! It's from 6-9pm so I spend time with some wonderful ladies, sewing and learning and then I come home to a quiet house and snoozing baby- what more could I ask for?
I finished making the squares and started piecing the quilt together today (we did all the cutting in class).
Here's an example of a square:
(what's that? You like my new ironing board cover? Thanks- Tuesday Morning, $7. Score.)
These are the other fabrics I've chosen for the quilt. Random, I know, but I think it will look good! The pink is for the big fat stripe on the bottom, the off-white is the inner border, the green with teensy flowers is the middle border and the fat flowers will be the outter border.
Here's my stack-o-squares finished and ready to piece!
(excuse my dorkiness, but this really excites me!) Look at my scraps! I knew I'd have scraps, but I had no idea they would be USEABLE scraps! They are all the same size and perfect triangles- our teacher said that they are perfect for making some squares for a smaller project- a coordinating pillow, pot holders- whatever!
As of tonight, here are the first two rows of my quilt (you have to turn your head to the left to imagine how it will actually look when it's finished! hehe)
some corners line up perfectly...
others... not so much. Oh well.

Oh I love some of your patterns. I think it's going to look great. I also think making a set of matching pillow cases would be an awesome idea. Then your bed would look soo neat and put together. :)
