Yellow Brick Road: Week One

Yesterday was my first class at Patches for the beginner's Yellow Brick Road class. And I loved it! I was so into it the owner of the store told me I was my own production line.

I ended up a bit ahead of the class and the tutor of the class, a lovely lady named Christine, gave everyone some homework that they could do by themselves at home depending on what stage they were up to. Except, once I knew how to read the pattern, and once I'd done my homework I kind of wanted to keep going. So I spent all night sewing until I could sew no more. And now I have this after 1 day:


I'm not too sure about the darker patch in among it all but I guess it adds variety. I also have to figure out exactly how I want to arrange all those 20 squares. Fun fun fun!

So I guess now I just have to put it all together. I'm going to wait for my class to do that but I am skipping next week to go to the zoo for my little cousin Zahra's birthday.

All in all I love quilting and am now terribly afraid that my thesis is never going to get finished.
