My First Quilt

Not that long back I purchased two bundles of fabric fat quarters that had a similar color scheme.  I had intended on making some banners with the fabric, so I cut it all up into perfect little triangles.  It was all ready to go but I just lost interest in making the banners.

So after looking at the pile of triangles for a few weeks I decided to try making a quilt out of them.  The colors went well together and they were already cut into shapes I could work with.  I always wanted to try a quilt and was a little nervous...so using something that was already scrap didn't feel like too much pressure.

So I looked around on my favorite place, Pinterest, for some guidance.  I found this tutorial for a scrap fabric quilt of triangles, via Stitched in Color.  I used it as a guide for putting together my quilt.  So below are a few pictures I took along the way.









The quilt ended up being around 3 foot by 4 foot big just using the fabric I had on hand already cut up in triangles.  Had I thought about making a quilt from the start I would have bought more fabric and made it larger.  But in all, I think it was a really good starter.  I learned a lot from the mistakes I made along the way.  Thankfully those mistakes around not obvious when you look at the finished project unless you look closely.  I'm pretty happy with the result.
