learning to sew quilts

The junior high girls came to sew again today. They started their quilts. We had chosen this pattern, the Line Dance pattern from Pink Chalk Studios.  The pattern is offered free online and I thought it was the perfect choice for a first quilt for the girls. They each chose their own charm pack and solids for the quilt top. Look at them hard at work.....

They got really far on their quilt tops! All of the charm squares sewn together and sashed together. Ready for borders! It always amazes me how different quilts made from the same pattern can be depending on the fabrics used.

The girls are excited to come back soon and finish up their quilt tops.

I just realized that my next post is my 500th one! I will have to dream up something fun to celebrate.... hmmmm.... maybe a giveaway? We'll have to see!

I love seeing rookies to quilting get into it - especially the pride in seeing what they can do. Lovely!
