This is my very first attempt at a quilt (I'm tackling both a quilt and a blog at the same time -- daring). I bought a quilt kit from Rachel over at Red Velvet Art (https://www.redvelvetart.com/) because I super admire her work and her house and her creativity and, well, her everything. I laid the squares out on the floor and spent a loooong time agonizing over how to arrange everything . . . . wondering if there is a particular method quilting pros use to determine the greatest esthetic please-ability (did I just make up a word?) of fabric arranging . . . I finally decided on an arrangement and took a photo. I left it on the floor while we went out for dinner. And came home to this: Just look at her. Like butter wouldn't melt in her mouth. Guilty as sin, caught red handed, etc.

Good thing I took that first photo.

Anyway, we'll see how this whole quilting project of mine goes. I hope I don't let it interfere with school in the fall, but I also hope it's not one of those things I let fall by the wayside (ie. the ukulele I got for Christmas two years ago) and completely forget except when I accidently catch a glimpse of the sewing machine/seam ripper/fabric scissors out of the corner of my eye and experience a tsunami (slight exaggeration) of guilt.
