Baby quilt

I've wanted to learn how to make a quilt for quite awhile now. I like the look of modern quilts, with clean lines or stripes and color blocking. Traditional quilting with the intricate shapes and patterns doesn't appeal to me as much. So having a baby is the perfect time to learn how to quilt and practice my skillzzz.

I decided to make this quilt and somehow found myself waiting in line at Joann's for over 2.5hrs on Black Friday. I can't believe I did that. I did not at all anticipate Joann's being so crowded, but once I saw the good deals and picked out my fabric, I just couldn't leave. I ended up getting enough fabric to make quite a few smaller blankets, as well.

So here's to hours of quilting! Actually, I've already started it and am quite surprised by how quickly the main patterned section is going. I think I choose a super easy pattern to start with, so I'm excited about that.
