This is my latest quilt that I made for my oldest daughter (middle child). I bought a layer cake (10" squares) pack and made the 'Red Letter Day' pattern from the 'Quilts from Sweet Jane' book. I used the same pattern for the very first quilt I made (I made a doll size with only 4 squares), and it's fairly simple and straight forward. I used a sparkly fabric for the white, and it adds the perfect amount of little girl flair!
This was the largest quilt I've made so far, and managing all that quilt in my machine while doing the actual quilting was challenging. I never realized how physical quilting is, and so I need to figure out how to manage all that fabric in the machine better. I quilted it with a simple free-motion stipple pattern because I haven't learned to do anything else yet! But, it looks really cute.
Anyway, the quilt turned out really great, and I'm proud of it. As you can see, I used my daughter to hold the quilt up (she's 7), so it's the perfect size for her. My quilt room is a work in progress, and one thing I need to work on is a good place/way to take better photos.
My quilting confidence is getting better, and in August I'll start working on more quilts as well as organizing my space. I'd love to see what your spaces look like so share a photo or tip for making a great quilt space!
