Isn't it a good feeling to see something "grow' and become a thing.! My favorite part about quilting is putting all the blocks together. My least favorite is trying to quilt the three layers and it bunching up in the back and having to pull stitches out. LOL done that a few times.

Keep on going. You are doing a great job. Post a picture so we can see your progress. I am curious.

Here's the asked for picture:

I've got all the pieces together now. Moving on to a border as soon as I pick the right fabric! :)

Not sure if 'mystery avatar' was in reference to my own - but if it was, my avatar is of Faramir and Eowyn from the Lord of the Rings movies. I was thinking about changing it to my pic or maybe a pic of my first quilt project. :D

I am so very blessed to have such a wonderful MIL - she feels just like a second mother to me. DH keeps telling me how happy he is that we can quilt together and stuff.

Much love to all and thanks for the encouragement! :D

I felt your excitement when I was reading your post. You are lucky to have such a nice MIL to help you get started. Sometimes that is all it takes for you to take off on your own after.

What a joy and a treasure to witness the dawn of your love of quilting. How wonderful to be able to share it with your MIL and with US!! Can't wait to see photos of your finished project. We certainly don't think you are silly, we understand perfectly!! Smiles and hugs
