Yes so here it is, someone asked what got me started quilting, what do you do for a dh that has everything? you make him a quilt, I was working for Wally World at the time, spent my fair share helping in the fabric dept though that wasn't where I was, I have some good friends there that still work there, and in came this pattern with most of the matching fabrics, so I bit the bullet, I had been eyeing quilting for a few years, wanted to but knew I had the obsesive take it way to far type of personality so kind of left it be, until then. I had used a rotary cutter before for other things, so I knew how to use it, I had been sewing for literally years and years. I watched a show on it once, I had it covered, you will have to tell me if I was right in thinking that.

WOW ! What a GREAT job for a first quilt ! And the rest is history right ?LOL
|
Great job!!!
|
WoW :D I love those highlighted fabrics in the center!!! That's a very handsome quilt your hubby has :D :D :D
|
If anyone remembers seeing it at wally world, there was supposed to be a greenish duck pattern where the deers are, They never did get it in, so I substituted the embroidered deer in it's place, DH is a hunter but doesn't hunt duck so this worked out better anyway. And where every other moose is there was supposed to be a wolf print of the same color, yet again, they never did get it in. it all worked out in the end anyway,
and yes, the rest is history, |
That is one of the most creative uses I have seen for one of those panels.
You have a real feel for this quilting thing, I think. |
AWESOME!
|
And that's your FIRST quilt!! Wow!!! You did great!
|
Wow!!! what a great quilt, you are something else!!
|

|
Great job!!!
|
Never would have thought to put those two fabrics together. They work perfectly and so dramatically. :D
|
It was a fun quilt to do and it turned out so good that I ended up making all three kids quilts that year for Christmas as well.
Thank you for the compliments! and now back to our regular programing. oh, i mean quilting. |

You have a real feel for this quilting thing, I think. I thought that framing the whole thing with the fish fabric was a distinct stroke of genius. I would have never thought to do any of it. :? |

Super quilt, especially for a first attempt.

Well girl you have it going on, but what so you expect from someone with a name like cutebuns. You did a super job on this. Can't wait to see other quilts you have done. Thanks for sharing. BrendaK.

Love your first quilt!! And this was in '09. I'd love to see what you've done since that time. What courage it took to attempt that quilt as a first!
|
Very nice first quilt,congrats !!!!

As an animal lover with lots of materal with dogs, horses and wild animals, much of each, now I have a good idea for my first quilt. Bet your husband loves it. Great job!
|
How big are the squares? They look like they could be 6.5", but looks can be deceiving. Just love it. With small space to work in I will be doing QAUG so always looking for ideas for my stash to make an animal quilt or 4-5. Carol

Right on!!
