Hi, I’m Sue. In September, 2023, my daughter asked for a quilt for her birthday in October.  I had never quilted anything at this time.  So research it is.  I found a few things she liked, so bought supplies and jumped right in.  I had no idea what I was doing, so followed a Youtube tutorial on making an Attic Window.  Well, when it was finished I thought it needed to be bigger.  So back I went to see what else I could do.  I found Log Cabin blocks.  Okay, I can do that.  Still not big enough, so I just started adding fabric where I thought it should be. A kind of willy-nilly fill in.  Once I got it to the size I liked, it was back to see what the next step was.  I ended up contacting a local quilt shop to get it quilted by someone who knew what they were doing.  This is the finale quilt.  Please remember, this was my first try at quilting and I am today still learning. Thanks!
