My First Quilt

Quilt # 1 - For Sukhveen's Baby Shower

My dear friend, Manveen called me in January, 2013. She invited me to her sister Sukhveen's baby shower. That instant, I knew it. This is the moment when I had to just go ahead and make a quilt.

 Piecing in Progress
 Showing off the Miter Corner
 Completed Quilt
 Love the Backing fabric

Here is what I learned. Choose fabrics that you really love. Because there will be times when you may get frustrated - enjoying the fabric makes you go on. And I love what my friend Vera says - "Straight lines are overrated"
I think I will start a new page and call it - Musings. For all the funny, pithy quilty sayings...
