I've been toying with the idea of a quilt done in almost all primary colors, and now I definitely want to start looking for some fun fabrics.<br /><br />Thanks for the helpful tips in the tutorial too. I'd never thought of taking pictures of the fabrics and arranging them in Powerpoint. Brilliant! And, I also work from the dining room table, so I like the baggie organizing tip.

But I told him that so many tutorials assume you know what you're doing. Since I don't, I took lots of pictures!<br /><br />I'm about to start another quilt with Create.Craft.Love. Since we are all going to make the same pattern, I'm thinking that I will learn a lot! Wanna quilt with me? <br /><br />http://www.createcraftlove.com/2013/04/quilt-along.html#comment-7737Jen @ de Jong Dream Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07734952011251720255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2081569415422539391.post-5092262040688725972013-04-06T08:55:28.588-04:002013-04-06T08:55:28.588-04:00They are kind of addicting, aren't they?

This is quite an accomplishment, Jen! And I...Wow! This is quite an accomplishment, Jen! And I imagine that writing up this tutorial took you almost as long as it did to make the quilt, but as a newbie sewist myself, it's much appreciated. I loved hearing about your whole process from the highs to the lows to the highs. And I think it's wonderful that you kept the "mistake" caused by your son's enthusiasm and declaration of love. How could you not? Also, congrats on your new machine! It looks so dreamy. I've never made a quilt before, but it's definitely on my bucket list, and reading this post just boosts my gumption to give it a go all the more!<br /><br />Your son is clearly in love with his quilt, not to mention the seamstress who made it! Those photos are precious.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08924076549718475202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2081569415422539391.post-25086443550856966902013-04-04T17:53:15.666-04:002013-04-04T17:53:15.666-04:00I love rag quilts - that was my first quilt to mak...I love rag quilts - that was my first quilt to make ever!
