My first quilt

I finished my first quilt a couple of months ago, but I couldn’t post the photos until now as it was a Christmas present for my mom. I found the pattern at Jordan Fabrics after watching her videos describing it, which was really helpful. It is called a race quilt, although I have also heard it described as a race track quilt. It is easy as most of field pieces are made of pre-cut fabric strips from a jelly roll. For the most part, it is made just by sewing long strips together. I used a Kaffe Fassett Classics Design Roll called Ocean, and the rest of the fabrics are also from Kaffe Fassett. I was happy with the way it turned, and it was an easy first quilt to make.
