Quilting

I have had a bit of guilt for many years that I never learned to quilt.  I come from a Mennonite background, and quilting is such a Mennonite thing to do.

It's a long story, but to make it brief, I recently discovered that I woman here in town was offering one-on-one quilting lessons.  I decided to take the plunge.  The end product will be a wall hanging size with 4 squares, each featuring a different pattern - a sampler of sorts.  I opted for a holiday theme (although it may not look much like it from my first square.)

So, here is my first quilt square that I did today.  It is called a "split rails" pattern.

I feel like I'm finally on my way to becoming a true Mennonite!
