Quilt in a Day Forums

I will be starting my quick trip this week. I finally have gathered all the fabric and cut it. I read and re read the directions and it scares me a little. I was thinking I may wait until our Linda and queen peach get home so I can ask them questions. I'll start out slow and hope it comes out nice. I'm making it special for our son. Then I will need someone to quilt it for me as I am sure I can not.
I just would like to know if you have made one, and if you had any problems.
thanks,
Kathy

Here are two quick trips that I made. It is a reaqlly neat one to make and goes together very fast.

Yes, I've made one. Just follow the instructions step by step and be sure you don't leave out a step. It's really easy. I sometimes make a copy of the pattern instructions and use a highlighter as I complete each step. I have holes in my head (like swiss cheese) to this helps me keep up with myself.

Wow Debbie, THANKS. Your quilts are pretty. I like the colors you chose to use. I'm doing a patriotic one. It is on page 15. Yours look so much bigger than the pictures in the book. I thought when I cut the strips a 4" that it would be big but looking at your pictures I now have a better feel for what it is going to be like.
I am so nervous and I don't know why. I've made other quilts, but this one looks tricky.
THANKS cindyg for the tip on the highlighter. I have CRS most of the time so I think I'll do that.

This is one I made for my niece. It's supposed to be a twin size but the thing is really long! It turned out beautiful in the purples, greens & white.
Linda

Hi Linda,
WoW!! Purples any shade are my favorite colors. I love it. The one I am making is suppose to be a lap quilt, but I think it will be big.

Purple!

Wow, I know a lot of the ladies in Paducah were "stealing" purples!

It is absolutely beautiful!

OMG I am doing the happy dance!! I finished the first half of my quick trip. I was in my sewing room talking to myself out loud. Had to be sure to get all the cuts just right. I was saying "amazing how she(El) does this. I just can't believe how it is going together" My DH from the other room says.....is it looking good? I said YES I'm so exicited!
Maybe tomorrow I'll get to do the second half. Thanks for sharing pics of your quilts and TIPS. I'm doing pretty good.
