I know I have already shared my Spring Fever quilt on my blog, but I happen to be soo proud of it, I'm going to share it again!
Amy is hosting a Blogger's Quilt Festival and is asking for everyone to share a completed quilt and explain it's importance to you and what you may have learned during the process.
My Spring Fever quilt was not my first completed quilt, but it was the first quilt I completed for myself! I started this quilt and had to stop it a few times, but I learned a lot during the process.
I learned what HST's are {half-square triangles}, and I learned a really quick and easy way to make them! It was great learning something so useful. It was fun laying them all out on my design wall and seeing all the different patterns I could make. I finally settled on squares.
It was the first time that I used my new Singer machine and I was able to use a fancy little stitch with leaves on it to quilt it. It worked well with the prints from Central Park. I loved how simple it is in the quilting, but how fun it looks.
I honestly don't know what size it is, it's a nice lap quilt for myself though. I love just throwing it over my legs to read a nice book or blog. I learned a lot about matching seams and being patient. It really boosted my confidence and completely hooked me on quilting.
So even though this wasn't my first completed quilt, I consider it my true first. I love it, and I love sharing it.
