Notes: This was my first attempt at quilt making. I began the project during October 2013 and attempted to make a king-size quilt (!) for our bedroom. I soon discovered it was too large to quilt on my domestic sewing machine.  Since I wanted ownership of the entire project (instead of using a longarm quilting service), I divided the king-size into two throw-size quilts and gave one to my son.  As a result of this over-ambitious first time quilt project, I signed up for a beginning quilting class and completed both hourglass quilts while finishing the class.
