The Quilt

Post by Rachel

So my dearest best friend is getting married. And as a wedding gift to her I am making her a quilt. All the women in her life have mailed me about a yard of fabric in any blue hue they could find.

Every day there was a new package on the doorstep. It was very interesting to see the pattern choices

So here's the start of it. I have 3 months to cut and sew all this together.

Oh did I mention what pattern Erin wants? The Double Wedding Ring quilt pattern. So I downloaded some instructions from the internet and the patterns I will need to cut from. And as I was doing this I was reading the blog of the woman who is a very experienced quilter and she said "This quilt is not for the beginner or the faint of heart." HAHAHA. I have never quilted in my life.

So I am going to make myself a pot of tea and get started. If you are one of Erin's relatives reading this I will occasionally update this post because I know many of you are excited to see the result.
