Quilting Class

You may remember last year when I tried unsuccessfully to make a pair of baby quilts for Lucas and Veronika's twins.  Though the process was difficult and the results uninspiring, I did learn that I liked quilting, so last month I signed up for a quilting class at Sew L.A. to learn how to do it right.

 

 

I just finished the five-week class, which covered every step of the process - design, cutting, piecing, quilting, and binding.  At times the class was intimidating - I learned from experience that quilt-making is extremely precise and meticulous, cutting or sewing errors of even 1/8-inch can lead to major problems.  But I like how this mini quilt turned out - still definitely not perfect, but far better.

 

After the holidays I'd like to start another quilting project, maybe a large throw blanket we can use outside in the evenings.
