First Patchwork

At last I've had a go at doing my first bit of patchwork. I've joined a quilting group at a local craft shop (The Craftworks) I always wanted to have ago and having been stuck on my Christmas tree skirt I thought the help of professionals would be useful.  So having turned up this week with nothing much to do, as I keep putting the tree skirt off I ended up having a bash at a simple patchwork.

And this is what I have finished at home.  I hadn't taken my machine so in fact I hand sewn the individual squares together to create 4 strips but I did cheat and machined the strips together.  Not perfect so still need to practice however very happy with my effort.
