Yesterday I was pulling out more decorations and found this little quilt. This was the first quilt I ever made. I remember very clearly making it. I had so many blocks made with high hopes of it becoming a bed quilt. Being a beginner my blocks did not all end up the same size. I had a lot to learn about 1/4" seam allowances. I opted for a small wallhanging or tabletopper. And the way I put the binding on!! I had no idea about mitered corners. Actually, hand sewing the binding down on quilts is one of my favorite parts. It is so relaxing to me. That has been over ten years ago. Unfortunately, I didn't know the importance of labeling my quilts so there is no date on it. Even with all the quirky wonkiness of this little quilt, it will always be special to me.
