patience made | first quilt

so a couple years ago i bought these adorable fabrics off of a woman who had closed up one of my favourite craft shops. at the time i had no idea what i was going to do with the material - i just knew it was too sweet to pass up!

for the past year, my friend bonnie and i have tossed around the idea of making quilts. but we both have crafty businesses so we always feel obligated to be stocking our shops, or working on custom orders. quilting was the thing we would do if our lives ever calmed down and we found The Time.

well i finally found the time! now that the festival is over i feel like i have all the time in the world! (sort of...that cross country move we have planned is a real time suck!)

so here are so process photos of my quilt. this is mostly just the blocks laid out and a couple strips sewn together.

hopefully by next week i'll have figured out how to bind the edges...
