My very first ever Quilt Blocks!!!!

Ok, I know it isn't a huge deal to those of you who have been sewing for years but for me this is huge! I have just completed my first 4 squares on what will be my first ever Quilt!



I'm not exactly sure if this is the way they will be positioned in the end but for the picture that's how I laid them out! Our next door neighbors are such nice people and the woman does a lot of quilting and offered to show me how! So we looked through her books, found a pattern I liked that was for beginners and off we went! I bought the materials during Black Friday weekend at Jo-Anns and this afternoon she showed me how to cut, sew and press them!

What's really cool is that we both got our Jo-Ann's flyers in the mail today and they have a bunch of quilting stuff on sale for 50% off and I need to get a mat, rotary cutter and ruler so that'll be perfect!

Well I was just so proud I wanted to share! Keep your fingers crossed that I can keep the momentum going and don't forget about my crocheting too much!!!
