Your quilt is just beautiful for a first try. You definitely have a calling.

I sewed for years for my four daughters then stopped when they hated homemade clothes and didn't sew a thing for over 20 years. In 2006 my third daughter was expecting her first child and I was in Jo-Ann's and saw a pattern called "Quilt in a Day." I thought, "I could make a quilt in a day" and proceeded with it. HA!! Four weeks later it was all pieced, I put on a backing, turned it inside out and wallaa, I was done. No batting, mind you!! I sent a picture of it to my sister-in-law who worked for Dritz at the time, so proud it was done. She wrote back, "Uh, Nolee? You sewed it together; you haven't quilted it yet." Oh, I didn't realize that's what quilting meant, LOL.

I haven't stopped since!!
