my first quilt.

so because i adore camille, i'll shame humor myself for a brief moment.
here is my contribution for the parade of quilts...

i know it's not a quilt...but here's the 1st blanket i ever made.

i made this at the ripe ol' age of 16.

i credit this blanket for the fabric loving person i am today.
{you can read more about this blanket HERE.}

and this...*sigh*...is the 1st quilt i ever made.
i made this at the ripe ol' age of 21.
well actually this quilt was started in 2004 and it still needs binding.
me & this quilt have a strong love/hate relationship.
{you can read more about this quilt HERE.}

and here is my most recent quilt.
so recent that it debuted on the moda bake shop yesterday!!!
{direct link HERE.}

i ♥ this quilt. ALOT.
so much so that i don't even want to put it away until christmas.
tehehe.

it's fun to see a mini evolution of my quilts.
{& to think of the ones that were created in between these three.}

so the big million dollar question is this:
what have i learned since the very beginning???

#1 the rotary cutter is a girl's best friend.
#2 iffy fabric when bought, will still be iffy when it's in your finished quilt.
and #3...
never ever forget that you set your dr. pepper next to where you are quilting.
bad ju ju. promise.
