I made a little fidget quilt.
People make fun of Pinterest. I use it for quilting research. I literally have thousands of pins in my quilting board. It's my go-to library. I had lots of information on fidget quilts saved and was eager to make one. It took a couple of weeks to get this whipped up...that's fast for me since I'm at work 40 hours a week. It was fun making this and as usual I learned a lot.
I love making quilts. It's easy sewing. All straight seams. Any other kind of sewing stresses me out! So for this quilt I had to stretch my sewing comfort zone. I learned to sew a pocket, velcro, and a zipper! Things I would have never tried had it not been for my great desire to quilt. I'm still not going to be a seamstress by any means but at least I can say I've sewn a zipper.
This quilt has 25 squares. I loosely followed a free fidget quilt pattern. It has buttons, ribbons, velcro, pockets, flaps, lace, loops, and a zipper. Most of the things I had on hand and only needed to purchase a few items.
