In 2009, I attended my first quilt show and was amazed by the gorgeous fabric and quilts I saw. Knowing I could sew a straight line, I figured that I could probably sew a simple quilt.
Fast forward 6 months. Pregnant and restless, I decided that I should get on with making a quilt. And what great timing, our new baby could be the proud owner of my first quilt.
Not knowing the gender proved a bit difficult with fabric selection. Or maybe it was just my lack of ability to select fabrics! I took a class at a local community house and created my first 9 block quilt.
Overall I’m happy with it and Master M enjoys crawling all over it when it’s not on his cot.
But I think I made a terrible choice for the sashing. The red sashings dominates the quilt, and takes away from the gorgeous spotted fabric. Or maybe I’m too harsh on myself.
