Quilting 101

I've enrolled in an online quilting class (http://www.quiltuniversity.com) called Starting from Scratch that starts this weekend. I came across some modern quilts online and became inspired! For the class each student builds a lap quilt, and while the pattern seems a bit country for my taste, I'm going to try to "modernize" it with all black and white fabrics.

I'm excited to get going so I can start projects using this fabric I just ordered:



This is an Alexander Henry print – my favorite - called "Here Comes Santa Claus." So cute!
Maybe I'll actually have something made by next Christmas!
