The step to quilting

 Doing the upholstery thing, my fingers started to itch. I wasn't able to do anything in front of the tv in the evening. And so I picked up quilting. Just as a pastime, but soon I got completely hooked on this new hobby! In the last couple of years I made several quilts.



This is my first quilt ever! Immediately I chose a much too complicated pattern and of course made a lot of mistakes (misjudging the measures, hence having to buy 3 types of fabric to complete the thing, etc.). But for a first I was fairly happy with it.   




After that I made this tumbling blocks.







And then this freestyle thing, which I stopped in the middle of it because I found it tedious for its coloring and pattern. Luckely now it makes the perfect 1 person blanket when I'm really cold.
