My very first was a small applique wall quilt. I did cheat and enlarged the pattern 200% so I could manage it easier. It will be back on my sewing room wall after I wash the yellow marks off it. This is the first time in over 14 years that it has been washed. I will try and get a pic for you to see tomorrow if the camera batteries are still good.
Yes I did it ALL. It took me 3 years to complete and it is the only big hand quilted quilt I have done. It was for my mum and she loves it but will not put it on her bed. She has 2 little chihuahuas and is afraid that their nails will rip the stitches. Thanks for the compliment.
The one on your "picture" is a beautiful appliqué, did you do it??
