In Conclusion: Quilting is EASY...just lengthy



So after finishing Rex's T-Shirt Quilt  http://thesuburbanchallenge.blogspot.com/search?q=quilt  I vowed to make Camilla a new quilt for her bed...
But she has bunkbeds so that meant making two identical quilts.


This ended up being very easy with a basic pattern. It took me about two months working on it only 2/3 nights a week for an hour, and a total of about 4 hours over the weekends.  I started in March, took a break in April to travel, and finished May 16th right before Steve's graduation party.  The key was finding the easy pattern with exactly how much fabric to buy and how many squares and strips to cut.


Quilting Quickly is one of those magazines for sale by the checkout registers at Hobby Lobby and it includes full patterns.  So in the Spring 2014, Volume 2, Issue 1 of Quilting Quickly I found the pattern for "Four In A Row." It even came with a video tutorial at: http://video.fonsandporter.com/videos/5007_four-in-a-row-quilt/


And, the beautiful fabrics all came from Hobby Lobby.
