I know all you "seasoned" quilters will not think this is much, but I just made my very first block!!! No...not quilt...block. This is all new to me and I am thrilled to get started. One of my goals was to learn to quilt and I have started...Jan 2! Yay! I made some half square triangles and put them together and I also made a hexagon flower...you know, like the Grandmother's Flower Garden. I love hand work and someone had given me a little kit. I decided now was the time! I can hardly wait for tomorrow to do more!

I'm not laughing. I was right where you are just a few months ago. These folks coached me through some UGLY practice blocks and gave me great tips. I'm still not up to the level of most of the rest, but I am half way through quilt #3. :)

I love your excitement. Makes me get excited all over again. Isn't it fun to create. Keep it up.

WooHoo!!!! :D:D:D
I think we all can remember the excitement of out first blocks :D:D:D I can't wait to see what you are working on!!!

I remember how excited I was with my first block. It was an Ohio Star block and I thought it was wonderful. My next block was "Sister's Choice". I have to admit that I love making those two blocks.

Enjoy!!! :thumbup:

I think that it is great that you are so excited!!!!!! Keep hold of that feeling. Before long you will have a lot more first along the way!

Just keep going and don't be afraid to try new things. Can't wait to see pictures of your work.

of course it's MUCH!!!

if there could be only one most exciting thing for "seasoned" quilters, it would be sharing the joy with brand new quilters. :-)

Yaaaa for you. Would love to see pictures. :thumbup: :-D

:thumbup: you go girl!!!! I remember mine! Take a picture and hang is proudly!
