Hi everyone, just wanted to share this "Newbie's" first machine quilt I sewed back in July, 2010 for my new GD to be born in September, 2010. I flew home from Wisconsin and surprised my daughter at her baby shower. I have made a couple hand made quilts by "cheating", just buying fabric that had squares made or designs already and looked like a quilt! Put a backing and binding on and done. I did not have a machine but enjoyed what I did. Well, now I do have a nice little machine and can learn and share and hopefully get a lot of "HELP". Hope you enjoy my pics.

Pattern and 10" Layer Cake Squares, squares bought first then found pattern

How adorable! Liked your step by step. My first quilt completely quilted by me was for my grandson who is now almost 6 months. I too am looking for more fabric for the next one. Probably an I Spy for when he begins to talk.
