This week was Week 1 on Amy's quilt along. I was really excited to get started and have learned so much in this first task! I am completely new to quilting and have been sewing for about a year now. The squaring fabric tips and using spray starch were both amazing tips for this excited novice! Now that I've gotten some of these basics under my belt, A good friend of mine is coming over this afternoon so that I can show her what to do. B is always under the philosophy: see one, do one, teach one. So in that spirit, that is what I'm going to do and it should reinforce and hone my budding skills as I do.
Classic Four Patch
Only had one do over here, for some reason I was 1/4" off when I originally cut the gold squares so I had to re-do them, but not bad for a first go.
16 Patch
I held my breath with this one, the biggest anxiety was that it would end up being a completely different size than the first. Fortunately it came out perfectly matched. :)
Looking forward to next weeks!
