Well, technically we were just sewing—quilting is the last step of the process. Yesterday I spent several hours with a wonderful girl named Hillary—the quilting/sewing/knitting guru. She had me choose a pattern (I picked Ports and Starboard, I think), pick out three pieces of fabric from her stash (light, medium, and dark), iron it all, cut my squares, and begin to sew them together.
I really enjoyed my first day, and love it already!
Here are some pictures from my first lesson, I can't wait to go back and finish up this square (which I plan to make into a pillow), then pick out fabric to start my first quilt.
