This week. (Ahem – so maybe this “week’s” assignment has taken us 3+ weeks. Who cares. We’re having fun. Right girls? Right.)
Anyway, this week we are sewing together our strips for the quilt top. So far, I have 15 of my 20 strips sewn. Then I have to sew the strips together to complete the quilt top. It’s exciting because I can begin to see what it will look like. I am totally loving the colors.

I know as far as quilting goes, this is the most basic, easy pattern possible. But seriously – I’ve wanted to make a quilt for so long I’m super excited to have at least started…something. I can’t wait to cuddle up under it.
Love the colors! I can’t wait to see the finished projects.
I’m anxious to see how this turns out! How big will it be? I may see if Grandma Carter can use this pattern to make the new baby’s crib quilt from if it will be a good size. I read through the tutorial you linked to and was tempted to try at least cutting out and putting together the top myself, then let her assemble, quilt and bind it for me, but on second thought I think I’ll leave the whole thing to the pro if she has time!
