My first quilt

I’ve finally finished my quilt that I started earlier this fall. The critical part was choosing the bedding. The next critical part was attaching the bedding in between the front and the back piece. It was not difficult, but it was exhausting since I had to tack all pieces together by hand, before quilting on the machine. Quilting definitely belongs to the category “not instant, but plenty of reward”. My dopamine neurons in VTA have been highly active the last week! ;)

I can truly recommend making quilts. I cannot find a more creative way of recycling without using a crochet hook! ;) This particular piece that I made for my niece includes about 5 dresses and fabric leftovers from plenty of other projects. Quilting is especially good if you (like me) are having a hard time getting rid of old out-fashioned clothes with nice fabric...
