I've shared my love for the quilting fabric I have chosen here, have written about my big plans before, and I have decided that I am ready to give it a go and finally begin work on my first ever quilt. I have sketched up a plan of sorts and by the look of it, I am thinking if I start now I may have it finished this year - I'm actually shooting for October, but I'm not putting that pressure on myself.
This project for me is going to be different than any other. I want to have a good solid plan, which I never have and to take my time, which I never do. I do not expect or want this quilt to come together quickly - which means I am going to have to be patient and move slowly. After all --- "patience is passion tamed" --- or something like that?...
Each Wednesday my hope is to share my quilts progression and I would love to hear about your first quilting experiences, to get some feedback, and/or any advice you can offer throughout it's completion...pretty please!
I hope everyone is staying cool! ~ Maureen

I love the bouquet of the cotton perle dmc! :D
ReplyDeleteGood Luck! I learned to do simple quilting back in middle school and loved it, I can't wait to see how it looks!
ReplyDeletelove the colors and can't wait to see your progress. :D
ReplyDeleteI love to see projects in progess, whether it's a quilt, piece of jewellery or any craft project. I will stay tuned!
ReplyDeleteThat fabric looks very pretty! I like the pink one with flowers. :) I've never quilted, but I am the same about not taking my time or planning... which is why I'm not allowed to paint our walls anymore, because I can't even bother to put down drop sheets! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun idea! I can't wait to see the evolution of your quilt!
ReplyDeleteOh how exciting. Good luck with the quilt, I can't wait to see your progress!
ReplyDeletecan't wait to see the progress!

ReplyDeleteHow exciting! I've made a few quilted wall hangings but have never tackled an entire quilt. But seeing your fabric stash is making me giddy! : )
ReplyDeletewow they look lovely! good luck with your project :D
ReplyDeleteyou have a beautiful selection of fabric! i can't wait to see the final product :)
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see. I have a ton of fabric hanging over my head but like you I am terrible at following directions and always want to do my own thing ! I am so afraid of ruining the stuff that it just stays bundled up in the craft room : (. You go girl !
ReplyDeleteI have never quilted before, but the fabric is beautiful. I can't wait to see how it all comes together.
ReplyDeleteHi Maureen, I'm happy to have discovered your delightful blog via etsy just now! I've looked at many of the pages and will have to come back again to look at more...and to see how your quilt shapes up - the fabric prints and embroidery threads you have chosen are wonderful together. Happy crafting and best regards, zhenne
ReplyDeleteI love the fabric, and the colors you have picked. Can't wait to see what you come up with. Your pictures are just lovely.
ReplyDeleteLovely blog, I adore these fabrics!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the well wishes! I am not sure why I am so nervous about making this quilt, I am usually not like this about anything (well, except driving, which I just don't do. ) I just want it to be a success that's all. Thanks again! : )
