OMG my first quilt! I was convinced I could figure it all out on my own and paper pieced a queen-sized Grandmother's Flower Garden. I picked a high loft batting, not knowing any better, then stab-quilted the whole darned thing. I've still got it. It weighs a ton and is stiff as a board. After that, having learned a little humility, I read a few books, took a few classes, and stopped being such a know-it-all. :oops:
