My first quilting attempt

My second sewing project was a quilted valance for the upstairs bathroom. I decided to just play with material and arrangement and do my own thing. Fabric was cut into 2.5 x 3" rectangles and then pieced together lengthwise and widthwise. Then a border of 3x3 squares was added to make curtain wider. I backed and binded is with an old sheet. This was totally a learning project but I am very happy with the end product. When the afternoon light shines through it, it looks like stained glass. But more important, I enjoyed the process. I am now reserving Sunday afternoons for sewing. Next project, a birthday surprise for a dear friend. The
