Thread: My first ever quilt.

Great colors! I love your fabric choices. Very impressive for your "first ever quilt!" That babe is going to love it.

What's next?

I have a plaid top together that I'd like to finish this weekend maybe. Shuffling off to Buffalo on Monday so might not get much done on that day.

DITTO every word that Yvonne wrote!! I love this little quilt. How sweet and cozy is that?? :D Darling fabrics, bright and cheerful, and made (quite well I'd say) with lots of love. It's perfect!!

Nice Job!!!! too cute

Very cute, Love the colors, very playful, = Good JOB

Wow! You did an awesome job! Your nephew will love the bright colors and the backing you chose will make it so snuggly! You should be very proud of this quilt! :D :D :D

your first quilt Nepthys, way to go :thumbup: There is nothing like the satisfaction you get from completing your first project. Love your cheerie yellows and reds

:) :) Great first try. I have done 3-4 small projects. Still have problems matching seams, cutting off border corners, selecting a quilting pattern that is appropriate, marking a quilt and machine quilting. I seem to do better with hand quilting. However, I still consider myself a newbie. I joined a quilt guild and have attended several classes and learning more all the time. I have found the comraderie of the guild meetings and people I meet very encouraging and have several projects in the mill. I am attempting to do my first twin size quilt and have learned several ways to do it easier and faster. I guess it is just a matter of mind set. No matter, I still consider myself an addicted quilter and loving it. Keep it going.

Love the colors! :) Very bright, cheery and snuggly. :) Good job!

You did great! Your binding is very well done and I think thats one of the hardest things to master. Bravo, now you are hooked!
My first quilt was so ripply and uneven I couldn't quilt it, but I hand knotted it and still have it. Your first quilt is special.
