Ever since our little boat holiday I have been working towards making my own quilt. I made my first quilt when I was 16, for my first serious boyfriend who was off to Uni. When we split up I didn’t think it was polite to ask for it back.
Fast forward 14 years (oh I feel old) and it’s time to make another quilt and keep it. So I’ve been paper piecing my octagons and going through my stash of fabrics.
I don’t think this is going to be a quick project but hopefully posting about it will give me an incentive to keep at it.
I found a group making the Dear Baby Jane quilting blocks today, via the Sew, Mama, Sew blog, which I think I am going to have to join too!
Ooooo! I’m making a hexagon quilt too! Definitely a labor of love… it’s not quick, but it is a lot of fun. 🙂 Any ideas on what kind of hexagon quilt you’re going to do?
Lol! Sigh. Sleep deprivation has its drawbacks 😛 Octagons! I think I was just so excited to see someone else making something similar to me, that all I could see were hexes! Sorry about that 🙂
