My very first quilt project was a lap quilt I made as a housewarming gift for a college friend back in the summer of 2015. It was a simple chevron quilt made out of HSTs. I didn’t use any specific pattern for it, just mathed out how many blocks I needed to get the size I wanted. My points don’t look terrible in these pictures, so good job past me. Gotta love that HST ruler.
I wanted to make it grey and purple, all one shade of grey alternating with a gradient of purples, but I was working with what I could find at my local Joanns, so it wound up being black with a sort of ‘sunset’ gradient. Simple echo quilting along the chevrons, and self-bound with the backing because the idea of making binding intimidated me.
(And then I had to wash it because I was living with 7 cats at the time, most of whom were at least partially white, and they got fur all over the black fabric.)
