Quilting for Dummies

Quilting For Dummies

This isn't so much a house remodel project as it is a craft for me. As indicated in this post I am learning how to quilt. (Bless my friend for volunteering. I hope she has lots of patience. If not I hope she has lots of liquor and nerve pills, because she will need it when finished with me, haha).

I went to Joann's Fabrics and found this Quilt block of the month on clearance. The setting kit was originally priced at $39.99/ clearance price $15.99. Each block originally priced at $7.99/ clearance price $3.19.  Original price total $135.87. My clearance cost $54.27.  I saved $81.60 Woo-hoo! 


There are 12 blocks consisting of :

The Four Patch Variation

Shoo-Fly

9 Patch Star

Road to Oklahoma

Pieced Star Variation

Double Hourglass

Water Wheel Variation

Stars and Squares Variation

Perpetual Motion

Evening Star

Twin Star

Double Square

Okay-I have to confess I have NO IDEAL what any of this terminology means. I have several reference books for a crash course in quilting. I am really excited to make this quilt. I hope that it is something that "sticks" and I have a new lifelong hobby. Fingers crossed. Just not when I am quilting.
