I made this on Monday. I was using a book that Tina lent me called, “Quilt in a Minute” (or something like that) – it has lots of fun, beginner quilting projects. I had also bought a fat quarter pack of fabric with some beautiful fabric that I was glad to use. This was supposed to take an hour – it took me more like 2 1/2 hours but if I hadn’t fiddled around with the fabric placement for forever, it would have been much faster! I also made a lot of newbie quilter mistakes but I amazingly learned a lot with just this little kitchen towel project. I think I should probably try more of these small projects before I attempt the king-sized quilt for our bed!
At some point in the fiddling:

The final, fun, finished product – isn’t the rickrack cute?!?! (And my first quasi-quilting project ever!)
The summer of sewing, here we come!
Salmon and Souvlaki 
Laura Elisabeth, that is adorable and beautiful at the same time! Is that an edging for a blanket? I love what you did. It looks beautifully done, especially for your first project!
@Aunt Zona – Thanks Zona! It’s a kitchen towel! 🙂 The towel is from Williams and Sonoma – it’s hard to find nice, plain white kitchen towels!
