It survived the washer and dryer too! I also learned that the spray adhesive I bought...was not water soluble and not in fact, *basting* spray. It worked, and my machine is no worse for wear, but washing didn't get rid of it and though the quilt isn't ruined, I am now pulling it apart between my quilting to un-adhere it. Lesson learned.

Barbara, thank you again, for the suggestion on the binding. I love it!

Without further ado, I present my first ever quilt. I call it "Lesson Learned", as I learned quite a few lessons in the process. :)

WOW!!!! GREAT JOB!!!! I haven't completed my first quilt yet. I have the top done but haven't quilted it, etc. I'm too nervous...LOL. I will be thrilled if mine comes out half as nice as yours. It's PERFECT :)

It looks good, your colors work well together.
I made a Card Tricks quilt and being a new quilter, I pieced the blocks badly and lots of the points were missing.
I named it "The Pointless Card Game" lol

I'm going to start a quilt for my mother in law for Christmas. I need to get on it soon, though, because we're celebrating Christmas early this year, as that is when my father in law will be home on his R&R from Afghanistan. I can't decide on a pattern though! I have a million ideas going through my head! haha
