Wow. This was really fun to look at all your quilts. My very first quilt was one I made under duress. i had a quilting friend who felt sure I would love quilting so she gave me a set of I Spy squares and I made a quilt for my then 8 year old son. I said the entire way through that I didn't think I was ever going to make another quilt. Too fussy and I was too perfectionist. I finished it and then loved it on his bed and he adored it so I then made my second quilt but really my first quilt that I chose to make from the book The Quilt Makers Gift. The friendship star. I chose the pattern and colour shceme so that feels like my first quilt. I tied the I spy quilt as too terrified to do anything else and hand quilted around the friendship star and tied the rest. Don't do much hand stuff now though. So I haven't looked back. Great to see all the work.
