So I have become very close with my sewing machine...so close that I am going to have to find a new chair! Gah! The chair I have in there kills! my back! But, other than that, I got to make my very first and very fun quilts! I saw a couple tutorials on Pinterest (duh!) and immediately wanted to give it a try. I have always loved quilts. I love how snuggly they are, and after several washes they are just soo soft and I just love them. And, I love how they can be personalized by colors, patterns etc. So, I decided to make quilts for my mom and my mother in law for mothers day. I started out just getting fabric for my moms, try my hand at it, see how it goes, see how it turns out, and then decide if I want to do it again. I admit it is a lot of cutting and sewing and more cutting, but they both turned out just adorable! I have to say I'm very proud of them! The tutorial that I followed (except that I changed the size of my squares) is here. And here are the pictures of my 2 quilts so far. Both of my kids are begging me to make them each one, so I see those being projects in the near future, and I will definitely have to make one just for me! :-)

This one I made for my mom...

This one is for my mother in law...

And Grammy, Ben and Abby cuddled in your quilt before we sent it off...
