a-quilting I will sew, a-quilting I will sew....

Lookie what I'm going to make:

I signed up for a quilting class!

If you think that's cool, let's be friends!

If you think that's lame, don't come crying to me to teach you how to quilt in 50 years when we're old and grey and then it's the "cool" thing to do.

I will be using the fabrics above (that's the sample from the quilt shop) and here's the pattern:

Don't you just love the big ol' fat ric-rac and huge flower?

I'm super stoked for this class- it's the 4 Wednesday nights in May. I can't believe that I'll make a quilt in the time span of 1 month! If I were on my own, it would take months or even years!

I'm nerdily excited to learn to quilt! I even bought a quilting foot (which isn't even neccessary for this quilt) to play with! The main reason I wanted to learn in the first place is that my great-grandmother quilted and when she died, she left multiple finished quilt tops and finished squares for other quilts, but no one in my family knows how to do anything with them! I'm very excited to learn and be able to use some of those to make quilts for my aunts and myself so that all Nezzie's hard work isn't wasted!

(Get ready for some visual changes around here. I used to think the grey was cool, but now it's just depressing! hehe)
