Old, poorly made, damaged......somewhat repaird and redone
#1
This had to have been the second quilt I ever made. I made it for my dh and he loved it (becaue I made it for him). I took it apart but not the blocks and my goal was just to keep it from falling apart and make a few repairs. Apparently I knew nothing about joining corners. As I took it apart, I realized that I had used the birthing method AND added binding. What was I thinking??? I had also tied it but never finished tying it. To make a long story short, I let my dh choose a freehand design for me to practice. About 1/3 of the way done, he wanted me to put a P-40 airplane in the middle. I'll try anything once. After I first made the quilt, I realized that it was our University's colors, UNLV Rebels. Nothing to brag about, it's only a project I chose to do for my dh and get practice at the same time.

Jackie, that looks great! I have a couple I'd like to re-do...just need some time.
I think it's part of our growing process. I look at my 'earlier' works and just cringe. Yet, I celebrate each new quilter's success. Funny how we're so critical when it's our own work.

Beautiful quilting!! I love your P-40 in the middle. If I show this to my DH he will will want a P-3 or C-130 on a quilt for him. Maybe I will tell him that if he buys me a long-arm, I will try to put one of his airplanes ona quilt for him.
You did a great job!!!
