This
literally was the first quilt I made. I've began sewing in 2000, but had never been interested in
making a quilt until I saw this pattern by Nancy Barrett, a quilter and
designer based in Oklahoma City.

I loved the pattern, so I signed up for
Nancy's class and bought the pattern and started collecting a palette of
fabrics.
Unfortunately, the class was cancelled, but
I decided since I already had my supplies, I'd forge ahead and figure it
out for myself.
Perhaps someone
should have warned me that all those complex appliqué shapes might not be the best choice
for a beginner! It took me about six months to do all the cutting, piecing,
appliqué, and quilting, but I finally got it done and lived to make
another quilt!
