Quilting

Well, I very excitedly went to my first quilting class on Tuesday morning, and was really happy to learn some of the basics for making up blocks. When I got home afterwards, my fabric from America (Sew Dearly Loved on Etsy) had arrived! The living room very quickly looked like this... I've rushed right in and made my first 12 blocks now (12''). Here are a couple of my favourites, where I was being more experimental, with some applique, and a house design I made up.
I found the website Quilter's Cache to be wonderful for giving ideas of blocks designs, plus very good, clear instructions.
And for some inspiration, look what came in the post from Amazon yesterday....preeeeeetty....
