Went to my first quilting class.....

[tabsmonsters]

...and this is what I made

I didn't have enough time to get it completely finished. I still have to do another border, put the batting and the backing on, quilt it and add the binding. I had intended on doing a wall hanging rather than a lap quilt, but I forgot about doing that until I had everything cut out

. I should have enough fabric left to do it.



Another girl was making this one and the colors just pop right out at you! I love this one and may make one in the future!

very pretty and such an undertaking for your first class!! now you'r gonna have to split your money & time between your chickens and quilting !!
I teach small group classes quilting during the fall & winter (not much else to do after the snow flys)and love what students come up with.

Thanks!

Unfortunately, I don't have chickens any more so that just means all my time and money can go towards quilting, lol!

Actually that lap size quilt CAN be made in one class - I teach the Quilt-in-a-day class for this pattern she made (trip around the world) and my students start at 8am-finish at 5pm and go home with their creations only having to finish tying the quilt.

erthymom, this was a Quilt-in-a-Day class too, 9 am - 5pm. We had a few snafu's and a late start. She also had to show a lot of us how to do rotary cutting the right way. I want to try and machine quilt this quilt rather than tying it though.

Scrambled, the thought has entered my mind several times. One of these days I sure will!

Very pretty! A great way to use those small scraps left behind from other projects. This is called 'trip around the world' ?? I'm going to look into that!

Actually Luna, using small scraps would take forever! We sewed long strips together then cut them down to the size we needed. Hard to explain but easy!
