My first was a collection of six inch squares I acquired from somewhere. I just sewed them together and tied it together. I was so green that I turned the top over and stitched it to the backing. Who knew binding and I had no idea about patterns. I used a loft batting which is bunching up and after a gazillion washings, the colors are pretty faded. Forty years later it's still going strong and has been used by four generations..... on the couch, on the floor, for picnics and camping. Pretty quilt? Gosh, No!!! But certainly loved by all.
I'm getting ready to go on vacation in a couple of days so will take a pic for posting when I get back.
