So this is my first ever quilt. (I remember doing one when my brother was born, but have no idea what it looked like or if we even still have it!)
My sister went on a pioneer trek with our church one summer when I was 19, and Mom made her dress. There was leftover material that was just sitting there, so I asked mom if I could make a quilt. She drew it out for me on graph paper, and I went to town with a 4'' square template made from a cereal box and a pair of scissors.
It's still my favorite quilt to nap with, and is starting to pop in the seams. (I have to fix it!) I don't think I could ever part with it! I might have to make a label and attach to the back with all this rambling on it for future reference!
Since then I've dabbled in it, making another one a few years later...however all that changed two years ago when I got married and had nothing to do but quilt! Now I've made over 30 and I'm still going at it! It's an addiction I tell you!
So here's my very first attempt at a quilt.
