Cutting hi-jinks

I have been remiss in posting this past week. I've been busy cutting all of my fabrics for the Nature's Gift quilt. So many 2-7/8 squares for the pinwheels!

As a beginning quilter I also got a little overwhelmed and confused by how much yardage I was supposed to get. 2 out of the 16 fabrics I purchased were short. Needless to say I went back to the store to get more fabric. Lesson learned about being more organized next time, especially when a quilt contains so many fabrics.

Also, as a beginner/advanced beginner quilter I didn't have one of the rulers I need to finish cutting one fabric. I think my next investment will be a square ruler.

Until next time!

Fabrics for Nature's Gift

Getting to work on my first quilt of the year, Nature's Gift. The quilt was originally done in holiday fabrics but I've decided on brighter colors.

Here are my fabric choices for the quilt. 

Now, let the cutting begin!
