"My Favorite Things" first 6 blocks
Designed by Sharon Hultgren

sewn by ME! :)
This is a project that I started 10 - yes TEN - years ago. It was a 1999 Collection Quilt with "Blocks of the Month" that I fell in love with at the store and purchased and LOVED starting. I've learned I am AWESOME with ideas and STARTING things. Finishing my projects is another story. I have decided to actually FINISH it! It will be my first REAL quilt. I LOVE to play with fabric and make blocks, and I LOVE quilts! This is supposed to be a queen-size when it's finished, so I hope I can complete it. The basting and binding is intimidating to me. We'll see - wish me luck!
I love this quilt for it's "collection" of blocks and fabrics. I love apples and bees, so this really spoke to me for so many reasons. I get warm fuzzies every time I look at it!

Jeannie,
Way to go--it looks good so far!
I'm a brand new quilter, and was anonymously given a stash. It includes completed Shoo Fly and Hearts blocks. To do the others, do you think I need to get the same fabric? Also, I'm short two patterns: block 9 and 11. Any ideas on where I should look for them?
Thanks,
Stacie
