Been quiltin'

Looking at all the quilts when we were home for Thanksgiving inspired me to try my hand (or my sewing machine) at quilting.


This is my very first completed quilt! I got the pattern from the Moda Bake Shop. Of course, the original looks much better! It was a learning experience.
A friend of mine gave me a bunch of scraps from her stash and I made this tree one with those. I only had to buy fabric for the back and binding. I think my corners are not-too-bad, considering that this is my second quilt.

This one was my son's Christmas present. That's Mario from the video game in case you didn't recognize him. I just used polar fleece for the backing and no batting which made it really easy to quilt--Christmas Eve, of course.
