I am teaching myself to quilt. Here is my first block! My dear MIL sent me her featherweight for my effort. I am excited that it is turning out at all!
|
Nice job! I love the colors too.
|
You did a great job! I really like those colors, especially polka-dots.
|
You are doing great!1 keep going!
|
Keep up the great work. Love the colors. Hang onto and take care of that Featherweight. There are quilters out there that would almost give up their first born for one. Okay maybe not their first born child but their first born stash. LOL! I bought my highschool English/French teacher's when she went into a nursing home and it wasn't cheap. Those are really a treasure, just keep it cleaned and oiled and it will last for a long, long time.
I'm looking forward to seeing this block in your first quilt! |
Thank you all for your support! I will post the finished quilt....someday! I am thinking of a solid brown border around each square. If I do the border I can make a twin blankie instead of a baby sized blanket.
|
Good job! I love the colors!
|
Aaahh, another quilter is born. You do know that this is an addiction, but one that will bring you many rewards. You are doing great!
|
It looks great!
|
Nice arrangement and colors
|
I am already addicted to fabric! Thanks.

Very nice!
|
Great colors and your points are fabulous. I have quilted for about a hundred years and sometimes my points still don't match. Maybe that's because I'm getting blind in my old age...lol. Keep up the good work sweety. You're starting off with a bang!!!!!
|
Aren't you just loving it? I sure love your fabrics & think you are off with a bang! This will make a very striking quilt.
|
Well done. It's such fun when you're new to quilting and each block is an accomplishment. As the others have said, it gets addictive in no time at all.
|
Very, very nice! I love pink and brown, and blue and brown. <3
|
Keep up the good work.
|
Well done, keep up the practice. You will soon be designing your own blocks and quilts.
|
Love your color choices and nice job!
|
Congratulations on making your first block! It looks great! :thumbup: Quilting is a great addiction! Have fun!
|
You have begun a new and exciting chapter in your life - featherweight and fabric. Welcome!!!!
|
You did a good job, try to even the intersections up a little more. Just trying to be helpful, it takes a while to get it all figured out.
|
Great job and I love the colors! Be sure to post it when you are finished.

Beautiful work! I started quilting a year and a half ago, and I'm hopelessly hooked. And prolific. I've been finishing a quilt a month. I'm disabled, and so lots of time to sew.
|
Fabulous job! You're now on your way to fun with quilting!! So many possibilities....so much fun...and welcome to the board from VA! You will love all that you see and learn! happy quilting!! :D :D
|
Ditto on the fabric colors and pattern. You're doing a great job and the colors are lovely together.
|
Thank you all so much for your encouragement. I will post the top when finished. Thanks for the tip re: Eleanor Burns. I will look for those. I just wished I had learned to sew from Grandma before she died. I did learn to crochet, though. Thank you, thank you... I love this board!
|
Wonderful! good for you. A Featherweight? Geesh, hang on to it or it may walk off in the night.
|
That looks great...I have my very first block ready to be sewed tomorrow myself too...that is so pretty....
Love those colors |
Share your first block, please!
