My first quilt is finished

...and I'm really satisfied with it. I began the project in Juli, so it was about time to finish it up, it only needed the binding, but I know that I'm not very good at that, so I wasn't looking forward to that part. But it turned out OK. I Used a tutorial from the talented Rachel Denbow, which was very usefull.
The front 


The back



It measures  approximately 47x36 inches /115x90 cm, and is made out of vintage sheets, a vintage dress, and a couple of new fabrics.

To many projects!

I bought a quilt tutorial from Rachel, and i started last night, cutting all the little squares. Allready I'm straying....hers is 6x6 squares, mine is 8x8...
I'm still not sure this is how I want the pattern...what do you think?
I do love all the vintage fabric, and it has been hidden away in a box for too long.
Brian made dinner (again), and it was just yummy, even thoug I'm not a real cheese-lover. He even baked the bread. The dark one has sun-dried tomatoes in it. Yum again.This fantastic machine came in the mail today, my very own Gocco printer. Really can't wait to get started. But i feel like i have to have just the RIGHT piece to print, so i won't waste any supplies. It's going to be so much fun.
Tomorrow my big sister is turning 40, and we are going to surprice her with not one, but two little surprice parties. We are coming for breakfast, which she doesn't know, of course. Then when she thinks it's all over, we are all coming again for dinner. All credit must be given to her husband, he is the mastermind behind all this. He even bought the present from all of us, a new bike.
