I always want to make a Quilt. So today, I went to WalMart and bought the following tools:
A cutting board, ruler and a rotary cutter.
And this weekend, I bought two pieces of fabric from the Thrift Store and below is my almost complete Quilt.
To start, I cut out all the squares from the fabric and join 4 squares with the green fabric. I have one more block to do and next I have to join all the blocks, sew in the batting, back cover and then the border and I will be done.
I was having problems with the bottom layer as it keeps "bunching up" when I was quilting the layers. A lot of sites recommend the "walking foot". So I bought a "Singer EvenFeed Foot" for my Brother machine and the lady in the store teach me how to mount it to the machine and also to use a #90 quilting needle and it solves my problem.

You make it look so easy :)
I just post it and you already comment. Thank you. Actually it is quite easy for a simple quilt, all it is joining pieces of fabric. The rotary cutter helps a lot and also watch a lot of youtubes.
