I've acquired my first two quilting patterns. The first potential quilt layout is Starlight Serenade (Lovelyquilt.com), and the second potential quilt layout is The Jonah Quit (Erica Jackman). Fabric shopping tomorrow! #WIP #Quilting

My first block ever. For a perfectionist, this was stressful. The block is also not properly aligned. Can’t use it. It was intended to be my first sample block anyway. I truly know why one would want to cut all of one’s pieces first!

Six blocks - two of each - to make a nice 3x4 block pattern with white sashing, which I will probably do this week!

And…it’s done. Not bad. I have seam issues, but for my first quilt top, I’m happy. Not happy with the thinness of the fabric and how it stretches when I handle it. Also not sure why some of the measurements are off when I join pieces, but…still…. Such is the postmortem!
