Creatively Winging It: First Ever Quilt

Today has just been one lazy day! I have barely done any housework (not that I'm complaining) and I'm loving it. It's such a great day for me. Well, other than my husband recently sent me a text message that was a picture of his amazing food from Olive Garden. I'm soo craving some good food! We shall see what happens with dinner tonight!

Anywho... I've been itching to do some sewing. Which is really weird, and technically I'm wanting to try out some pillowcase tutorials. I don't enjoy sewing and I try my hardest to stay away from blankets. I'm failing-- obviously.

A while back my grandma caught wind that I needed some material for sewing. She's so in to quilting that she has a business. I'm not so dedicated. I also went up to her house to look through her fabric stash for making Asher some pants and such. She gave me a ton of scraps, even a trash bag full of itty bitty ones. I took those scraps and started playing around with them. I used them as bows on present on one of my Quiet Book pages, I also tried sewing a blanket with them (it didn't succeed). My grandma was so thrilled that I was sewing that she got everyone's "left overs" from her quilt guild. I say this because I finally got around to using them.

I'm pretty lucky. Those quilt guild ladies seem to have some pretty good taste. I haven't found much in the bag I was given that was the typical Old Lady colors. Hallelujah! :)

So here are some pictures from today's sewing event. Yes... event is the right word. I'm not finished with the top yet, I've got some ideas for a border in hopes of making the quilt a little wider.

Happy sewing!
