My first quilt...

I have officially started working on my first quilt. I spent a total of 4 hours at my Grandma Net's house and, dare I say, got quite a bit accomplished. It's turning out even better than I expected. Here's my progress so far...

The layout

The first 4 columns complete

The cutting table

Grandma's Bernina (I love this machine!)

Grandma's Iron (She bought one that doesn't have an automatic shut-off, which is really nice for sewing projects)

Grandma's Workstation

The first 6 columns

My view downwards...

I was telling my grandma how this belly just seemed to be getting in my way while I was trying to layout my pieces on the floor & manipulate 45 degree angles on my rulers. She wisely told me that the belly is less of a sewing distraction than a child will be come April. I think she might be right :)
