Quilting 101

I took on a new challenge in my crafting journey this last week and decided to put together a quilt. I am a very inexperienced seamstress all things considered, but I think it came out really nicely. I used a pattern from the Moda Bake Shop called the Snuggly Layer Cake Throw. I wanted to make it for my daughter so the theme is toddler focused. I also used several You Tube videos to learn how to do some of the steps (basting the layers, sewing the ditch, binding the quilt). It took me one week total. I've learned a lot and can't wait to make my next quilt. :)
