Quilting from memory

I'm really excited because tomorrow I'll be going to my first quilting class. It is one of those crafts that needs to get out of my system ever since I made a quilted pot holder in 5th grade.  That was the beginning and end of my quilting adventure until now.
My fabric stash. Mostly Liberty, Petit Pan and Monday's Milk.
Some book inspiration I got from Amazon, definitely not books for beginners.
Both my big and little scissors needed pouches, so quilting some seemed like a good idea because they're coming with me to the classes. 
Front and back views, just so you can see my expertise, mastery at doing this sort of thing.
While in grad school someone introduced me to the quilts of Gee's Bend. That is something that never left my mind. They were to me back then and still now, the most beautiful quilts I have ever seen. I only hope that one day I'll make one that closely resembles any of those magnificent quilts.

Happy Monday! Mine is already quite happy with anticipation!

  4. I have some of the same Petit Pan fabrics. They are so beautiful! And I'm slightly scared to use them because they're so nice (and expensive!).

    Can't wait to see the finished product...

    1. Petit Pan is one of my favorites too, and I don't think I'll use them for my beginners quilt!
      Calculating that all goes well, the finished product will be done in aprox. 3 months! For sure I'll show it!
