Being shown how to complete the blocks correctly is great and learning all the tips and techniques is much easier than using a book at the moment! Plus meeting people who enjoy to sew is also fab!
The only problem I've come across is this inches thing! 1/4 of an inch?! 7/8 of an inch?!
Unfortunately I'm a centimetre girl so it has taken a bit of time to get used to.
So far I've been experimenting with different blocks, fabrics and colours. I'm slowly finding my style.
I did also manage to put together a random log cabin block and then along came a pincushion. A girl can never have too many pincushions! (I was also proud to display this at the class on Saturday - I'm a quilting class geek!)
Until next time,

I've always struggled with inches. Cute pin cushion!
I use cms for everything except for chest sizes in knitting! I grew up with 18" 20", etc and now it's stuck. But the whole fractions of inches thing is just weird. That's what I love about the metric system: decimalisation!
