xx_xx_xx QUILTING xx_xx_xx

This last month I (Leila) started and worked on a quilt. It was a great experience and although I had never made any quilt, I thought that would be a fun project to work on during the evenings while Nuri has homework (or during the weekends, too!)

So, after being inspired by the design of a 9 point star that a lady was working on while one of our Baha'i meetings, I thought I could probably try to do that, and here are some pictures of the process. I cut fabric in diamonds and put them together and used some yellow to cheer up the pattern, and then put a light background and then worked on the batting. That was the hardest part of all this, at least to me, and of course the quilt has its own personality -not quite perfect- but oh well, I am still happy with the results! :)

I just finished today and wanted to share it with you in own blog. Next quilt will be smaller, that for sure ;)

Durante el pasado mes me dedique a hacer un cubrecama usando la tecnica de retazos de tela y armando un diseño. Finalmente hoy dia termine mi obra maestra, la cual me tomo un mes entre el diseño y la costura, pero fue muy divertido, aunque la parte de hacerlo tipo hedredon con costuras entre medio fue largo y complicado.

Como se imaginaran, es mi primer "quilt" asi que no esta perfecto, tiene sus fallitas por aqui y por alla, pero de todos modos esta sano y completo, asi que nada mal para mi primer esfuerzo. Aqui puse algunas fotos de los diferentes pasos en el proceso y a ver si les sirve a algunos de motivacion para trabajar en algo que nunca han hecho, con tal de hacer uso de un tiempo libre (pues mi excusa fue encontrar que hacer mientras Nuri tenia tarea y proyectos por la noche, y mirar tele no me parecio suficiente buena ;P )

WOW, Leila! Job well done. Looked like it was made by someone who has been quilting.

Looking forward to seeing your next projects...
