A few weeks ago (boy am I slow or what?) I posted about doing my February wall hanging. I got it from Joannes and it was a few firsts for me including the binding.

As you can see from the pics below, the binding did not work at all on the February one :)

Then I got the March wall hanging and even did some hand stitching around the shamrocks. This time, the binding worked a little bit better. Nothing close to what I see on the board, but I am a little proud that it actually did work out. Just don't look too close!

Now, I think I am going to take my pink and purple blanket apart, fix the seams that have ripped, and redo the back. I am trying to convince myself to bind that one, but I don't know if I am up for that yet. Right now, it was put together and flipped inside out, no binding at all.

Thanks for looking!!!

Here is the pink and purple one. This was my first quilt ever. :) Not really great pictures either . . .

I really like your February and March project. Your first quilt looks better than my first one. Good job!

I think your binding looks great!! But if you are unsure with yourself, I used this tutorial to do my binding:

And I have LOVED the way mine have been coming out since then. It does take practice though, my corners are still horrible, but, hey I figure the day I make a perfect quilt is the day I will stop quilting, so I hope it never happens!!

Cheers!

Don't be so hard on your work!! :D All of your projects look

:D :D :D :D

Your projects look great! Keep up the good work!!

i agree! :D :D

I like your Feb and March wall hanging and your first quilt turned our just fine.

My aunt said to photograph everything. I tried but sometimes the photos were terrible and the quilts given away or I was in just too much of a hurry and forgot to photograph.

Now I can see that my photographing is much improved and maybe it's okay some of the first quilts weren't photographed in perfect light or focus LOL but best of all when I look back I'm surprised at how brave I was.

You have already done some applique, applied the binding by machine, did some hand quilting, and the pink and purple quilt looks like you did a "pillow case" finish and didn't apply binding at all! That's a great start!

I this they turned out great! Binding was tuff for me, but the more ya do the better it get's, takes time.
