I took this week off work, I wanted to do a couple of extra things, and I wanted to sew. Sewing is what I've been doing in my spare time. On Friday, I going to go the the San Diego Quilt Show, Bob has declined the pleasure!
Here's the New Wave Quilt, that I just finished, I used 13 fat-quarters from the Timber line of fabric. This pattern is by Elizabeth Hartman of ohfransson.com. It's an easy pattern and I think the result is great, if I do say so myself. The only thing I would do different, next time, is not make a template. After I used the template a bit, I gave up and just used my cutting mat and a straight-edge. Much easier, for me.

I used the left over bits from the fat-quarters to piece the back. What do you think?

Your quilt turned out great! It is very different from the traditional quilt. I love that it has a modern look to it and the colors are bright and cheery. I have always wanted to learn how to quilt. Nice photo of you too!
