The pattern is from Better Homes & Gardens "Quilt Lovers' Favourites" and is called the "Convent Quilt". I chose it because it is a very basic pattern.
These are the fabrics for my daughter's quilt:
And these are the fabrics for my son's quilt (which will be discussed in a separate set of posts):
I'm doing my daughter's quilt first because I THINK the colours will be a bit more forgiving of mistakes... but I could be wrong!
I think I figured out today why I've been anxious about this project. Partly because of the size of a quilt - it has been a long time since I last sewed something so substantial. But mostly because quilting is an art, and I definitely don't see myself as an artist. Sure, I'm crafty, but I'm not an artist.
Maybe I will discover a new passion. And my inner artist.

I am nearly finished cutting blocks and strips for my daughter's quilt. I have to cut 15 strips of the solid purple fabric, then I can start sewing. I'm really enjoying this now that I've actually started cutting, and there's nothing quite like the feeling of fabric under your hands and music blaring from your stereo. Today I'm listening to Sarah McLachlan, and singing while I cut.
