Quilting

Here are pictures from my first quilting expedition. I used flannel receiving blankets to make a four-patch design. The one on the ironing board is Mr. Graff's; he used two baby cloth books, cut them up and sewed them together. 

I was so excited to start quilting that I used a yard stick, chalk, and scissors to cut out all the squares. Mr. Graff helped me sew the squares and gave me a basic idea of strip quilting. Very cool. 

And here is my first finished quilt top. 

My next one was also a four patch, for a little girl. 

This one I actually tied and bound. 

I'm impressed with my efforts and looking forward to learning and trying more! I'm thinking a rail tie or Chinese coins quilt next.
