I have all these wonderful ideas in my head - things I want to do - I guess you could call them my "bucket list." They aren't fantastic trips or amazing feats of accomplishment, just some crafty things I've tucked away for when I have lots of time to get started and hopefully finished.
That quilt class I've been taking for the last 6 weeks (over now, so sad) has really got my brain working and I've decided to just jump in and do it. I have a pattern, a freebie from Elizabeth over at Sew, Mama Sew, I have the fabric, and what the hay, nothing ventured nothing gained right?
Why should I wait until I'm a fabulous quilter (if ever) to make this beauty??? I shouldn't, waiting until you good enough is futile. So I just decided to jump in and do it! That's just what I'm gonna do!

Here's the first block done for the Sawtooth Quilt. Isn't she pretty?! I love the way it turned out. I'm still struggling a little with the seams (which way to press for the least amount of bulk - but I think I'l catch on with the next block.
Those fabrics have been sitting in my stash for over 10 years. They were all free, can you believe it? I worked at a local college that had a lovely interior design department and at the end of each year they would offer their fabric samples to anyone who wanted them. When I saw this pattern on Elizabeth's blog I new it was just the one for these fabrics, It will look just like a garden of flowers. I hope! Wish me luck as I take my first steps into the wonderful world of quilting!
