I returned from a work event in Dallas and I needed a project to relax myself. I ordered the Moda Catalina Batiks jelly roll and some batting from Amazon and got to work. In a week of evenings I had a beautiful lap quilt backed with orange fleece.
I expected basting to be the most difficult part of making a quilt. Instead, I found that the physical strength it took me to move my quilt through my standard sewing machine was the most challenging part. The second most challenging task was making mitered corners with my binding. Thank goodness for bloggers who love to teach and for Pinterest! I must have read more than 20 different tutorials to learn all the steps for this first quilt.
