Chevron Quilt

I finished my chevron quilt. Hallelujah!!! I had fun working on it, but it took some time. I just returned from a 4 day craft retreat where I was able to spend lots of time putting it together. I love how it turned out. There are many mistakes, but I learned a lot. My kids love it. Even the boys!

I used 5 Moda charm packs to make this quilt. Here are the pieces I was lying out to try to figure out the size I wanted.

The cut pieces...

Pieced together. Now just figuring out binding and back.

The back. I love the giant polkadots.

More quilting

My first quilt was a rag quilt. I wanted to try to actually quilt my own, so I took on this small project. I don't love the fabric, but knew my Lyla would. Check out her face. Can you tell Dora is her best friend? :-)


She was so excited!


She loves her Dora blanket.

My first quilt

I DID IT! I FINALLY finished my first quilt.
I actually started making it on Memorial day last year. In just under a year I'm done! Ha! It really DID NOT take me that long at all. I worked on it the one day in May and then life went on, I put it up and got busy with other projects. this week I got it out and sewed the border on, washed it and I'm loving it!!!!

It was super easy to make. I used the Stampin' Up bigshot to cut out all of my blocks and designs. I love how it turned out. What do you think?
