Last week, I showed you the quilt I made for my oldest son whose birthday is today! He just turned 9!! He is a happy kid today - beach yesterday, pancakes and presents this morning, pizza for lunch, friends this afternoon. Who wouldn't want that kind of birthday as a 9 year old?
Today, I'd like to show you the first quilt I ever finished. I made this quilt to make sure that I could actually quilt it together! It was a lot of work to do this zig zag as it is made entirely out of triangles! Next time, I will follow an easier zig zag pattern like this one. The quilt I made is bright and the back is red flannel. It's super soft and also really small (36" x 20" or so). I did the zig zag pattern to quilt it on the middle part and around the outside I did a loop (just to try it out). It was good to practice quilting before tackling a big project like my son's quilt.
I like how it turned out but it was a lot to take on as a beginner quilter! I'm glad it was so small. I think it will end up being my daughter's baby doll quilt!
