Triangles.

My mother has this natural knack for sewing. 

I've never had the "want" to sew, really, BUT...

this summer I had the itch to redo all the pillows in our bedroom. 

So I googled and googled and googled. Pretty soon, I had mastered the "invisible zipper" and was making pillows on the daily. I even made pillow cases! It was my summer hobby. 

A few weeks went by and off I went to New Jersey to visit my family. My mom and I went to {Cloud 9 Fabrics} and they brought us through the whole design process for fabrics. I then decided...I'm going to make a quilt. Thinking...EASY EASY EASY.

...Easy. Not so much.

Insert triangles.

Insert headache.

As of today,

I have finished my first quilt top. 

My goal is to have the entire quilt done by October 1st.

Mainly because I need my own sewing machine

{using my mother-in-laws currently}

  convincing my husband that this isn't a "temporary obsession" has been quite the process. 

Here she is...

and even though it is not perfect. I am so happy with it.

My next quilt will be squares.

I'm done with triangles for a while.
