I made this quilt for my brother for Christmas 2009.

This was the first time I worked with a plaid type material. Thankfully the shop I purchased it at told me not to try to cut with the lines or I would go nuts. I thanked her profusely for saving me many hours of frustration and tears.

This is also my first king size quilt and the first time I worked with homespun material.

Then lastly, this is the first quilt I tied to finish.

That has to be one of the prettiest homespun fabric quilts I have ever seen. It is simple yet very striking! Great job!
