I made my first quilt @ 25 years ago. I finally began quilting again this summer, and just finished my first quilt. I made this quilt to be donated to www.QuiltsForKids.org and will be sending it in shortly.
It is machine pieced and quilted. I picked the fabric myself (rather than ask the charity to send me the fabric).
There are many minor mistakes, but I don't think a typical child will notice it or care.
