Last fall, I signed up for a class at Modern Domestic , it was a beginning quilting class focused on half square triangles. My plan was to make a quilt for my friend Erin...well, her first baby, Mara. It turned out pretty good and I found it pretty fun. So, I always viewed quilting as something I would pursue...probably...when I got old, haha...well, I guess that time came at the ripe age of 42. I got the bug and away I was swept. I enjoyed the tediousness of the work, its fairly mindless work for the most part, but at the same time, Its fair to say that I'm a perfectionist about these types of things so mindless may not be the best way to describe it. I felt a bit overwhelmed with all the fabric possibilities but I nailed down some nice gender neutral choices as Erin is not much for girly-girly. My favorite thing about the quilt process is cutting the fabric, and my absolute favorite part is the binding--making it and hand sewing it--I lov...
