A Quilt for My Beloved

My 3rd quilting project was much simpler than my previous attempts.  I decided to make a quilt for my beloved husband for Christmas.  The previous year my dds had pieced together quilt tops (another post coming soon) using charm packs--which are pre-cut 5 inch squares in coordinating fabrics.  I used their leftovers to piece together a king size quilt to fit our bed.

I did 18 rows of 18 blocks each--a total of 324 squares!  It too has many mistakes, but I'm not perfect and I decided that imperfections are just a part of whatever I do.  :)  This has helped keep us warm on many a cold night and I love the idea that *I* made it all by myself.  Thankfully, hubby was thrilled by my efforts.

I always wanted to learn to quilt, but never thought I could do it without someone to teach me.  I'm not that experienced still, and I can't do the complicated patterns that the old-timers made or that I drool over online, but I hope to continue to expand my skills and to pass them on to my daughters.
