My First Quilt

I really wanted to make R2D2's bedding for her nursery. I ended up making her crib skirt and a quilt.

I have another quilt I still have to baste and bind, which maybe I'll get to before I go back to work. I have fabric to make curtains too, we'll see when those happen as well.

I started making the quilt above, inspired by Happy Quilting Time, but I became discouraged when my seams didn't match and I haven't decided how I want to baste it. So, I went to a more simple linear quilt.

I used a tutorial for the linear quilt from Momfetti

R2D2's Crib Skirt

 I like to make things. I also like things to be one of a kind. I decided I want to make R2D2's bedding myself and for some reason thought I'd save money making my own bedding. In the big scheme, I probably did, but while making the skirt and quilt and I realized I have a POS sewing machine and ending up using my savings to buy a MUCH better one. I can tell such a difference and I look forward to using it for the decades to come to make even more things for the house and our little ones. I digress.

Unfortunately I don't know the name of the fabric, but I bought it from JoAnn's in the Calico Prints section.

God love the internet. With a little searching a found the perfect tutorial for a ruffled crib skirt. I think I also looked at some other sites and put it all together, but I mostly used the sew for home one.
