Hi folks. I am new to sewing and quilting as well as this delightful group. Attached is a photo of my first quilt top which also happens to be my first sewing effort. My technique is a little weak as I am self taught but I am learning. Wish I could have gotten a better picture, but hopefully you can tell the quilt is the State of Texas. I hope to get this long arm quilted soon and will post pics of the finished product.

What a neat idea to make your state into a quilt. I'm amazed at the detail of the state border. Nice Work.
