A Tiny Quilt

I took my first sewing class a year ago. I really wanted to learn how to sew, but even more, I wanted to learn how to quilt. My grandma, Tutu, made a lot of quilts when she was alive. She even taught my older cousin Michelle how to quilt. By the time I had any interest in learning, Tutu was too old to teach me. Or I at least assumed, because I never asked. Tutu passed away two years ago this month, and I am finally learning how to quilt. I have to believe that she would be proud of me!

I took an Intro to Quilting class yesterday at this adorable local fabric store, Fabric Bliss. I've taken two other sewing classes there, and I absolutely love it! Today we made a tiny little quilt called a "mug rug." I couldn't believe that it came together so fast! We only did one block, but we pieced it all together, did the batting, and did the binding. So now I know how to do everything I need to do for a large quilt as well!

I think the tiny quilt turned out pretty cute. It's about the size of a piece of paper. I'm not actually sure what I'll do with it, but it's so satisfying to have made something from start to finish!
