I'm sooo excited. I just finished my first quilt. Here are pictures of it. I made it using pieces of my daughters old shirts, the cream portion is from an old couch cover that we never used and some of the material I bought from a fabric store because I didn't have enough clothes to make the entire quilt.

That is simply beautiful! I cannot believe that's your first one! My first one looks all kerplunky and yet I still hold onto it...

Good job!

How cute and you even tackled triangles on your first quilt. Not an easy feat at all. Great job!

Very nice. I would never have guessed it was your first.

What are you working on now? As quilters we have to have at least a dozen things going or at least thinking about. lol

Great job.

Beautiful!---What an undertaking for a FIRST quilt! You did great. We can't wait what will come next, "you've got the touch". Your girls will enjoy looking at it, too!

treshay 11-17-2008 12:32 PM

Thanks everyone!! I haven't figured out what I will be making next but I'm already going crazy without having one to work on. I have a few sick children this week but when they are feeling better I'll be making a trip to the fabric store and probably get started trying out some of the BOM's that are posted here - that seems like it would be lots of fun!!

A few years ago I saw a quilt for sale in a magazine for a few hundred dollars. It was absolutely gorgeous and I really wanted it for my bed. I am trying to find that quilt so I can see a picture of it and hopefully tackle making one for myself.

Thanks again for the compliments! It was so much fun and I am very proud of it.
