I have found the most amazing new thing to do! My friend, Sandy, gave me a quilt in a kit a while ago and I never put it together... well I decided on Saturday morning to at least cut the fabric and then "think about it". Well that afternoon I decided to start my effort... OMGosh, I had the thing together in just under 2 hours! It's a nice size quilt to cover up on the couch. And man oh man does it look nice!!!!!!
Sandy bought the kid from Quilter's Paradise here in town, but I see they have them at Joann's too. This may be simple for you quilters, but I'm mastering my 1/4 inch guide foot and LOVING this! This week I will probably take it down to the shop and pay the 30 bucks to have it quilted and put my binding on this upcoming weekend. Oh girls, I am sooooo excited!

Oh no--you didn't listen to us! Quilting is another addiction. Any post about UFOs are about QUILTS!. Don't let this one be your first--get it quilted asap. Habits always start small :)

2 hours? We want to see this!! Is that a "real" 2 hours, or an Eleanor Burns 2 hours, hee hee hee? You can probably tell that I actually believed the "Quilt in a Day" title, hee hee hee. It wasn't done in any "day" I ever heard of, giggle. Show us, show us!! Hugs, Marji

That sounds so cool!! I have never taken on a quilt project because I know it would just be another UFO sitting in a drawer or closet. But if if goes together that quickly...I may have to try one!

O M Gosh THE QUILTing BUG has struck again....I started with the block a month at Joannes...collected them but NEVER put them together...they were PRE - CUT pieces, so I really didn't have an excuse NOT to piece them together...well My Mom started quilting and so I would give her a set at a time...then she started making them into Queen size so we would search for the extra coordinating fabric and just add BIG borders...I still have several sets...NOT EVEN STARTED!!! Check out KEEPSAKEQUILTING.com for more "KITS" they have beautiful collections:)

2 months, 2 weeks, 2 days, maybe....2 hours, ok, I'll bite. Are these 12" squares? I can't wait to see this one, but I'm so happy you have been bitten. This is such a fun habit. Enjoy!

Good Job! If you can get it quilted for 30 bucks thats a great price. I have a friend how does the longarm quilting and she charges by the inch so you have found a great price. Try another one.

You are my hero!! How is that new machine working for you? Way to go girl, can't wait to see pictures!

So glad your quilt went together so fast. That is the kind I like to do. $30.00 for quilting sounds pretty cheap. So glad to hear that is all they will charge you. Looking forward to seeing it.

Hi Teri, just come on line - still sick with a bad head cold. Well done on finishing a couch quilt in 2 hours - what style is it for you to finish it that quickly?
Great price too $30.00 for quilting - mine cost much more to have professionally quilted.
Well done. Love and blessings Chris
