Before cutting, it’s important to wash all of your fabric in case it’s going to shrink. Once I washed, dried and pressed, my fabric, I went ahead and cut it. Read on to learn how I tackled this step.

After ordering fabric, I went on to order all of the quilting supplies I would need to complete my quilt. In part 4 of my Quilt-A-Long / Learn to Quilt With Me Series I talk about what supplies you’ll need as well as a variety of places you can purchase them.

Before you go ahead and purchase the fabric, you have to figure out how much you need. Read on to learn how I tackled that.

It took three revisions and a one year break, but I finally came up with a layout for my first quilt. Thanks for being patient. Read on to see my struggles, my different layouts and what I ended up with.

As part of my Quilt-A-Long / Learn to Quilt Series, I first went to pick out fabric of course! 🙂 Why? Because that’s the most exciting part — right!?

Are you new to quilting? I am! I have been wanting to learn for quite some time. So, I decided I would just go ahead and do it . . . dive right in! I’ll continue to post updates as I complete my quilt. So if you want to quilt along with me (or just keep up with my progress), you can do that too!
