I know...you didn't ask for it but here is the 2nd quilt I ever made. I found a lovely piece of fabric and made the quilt. I mainly wanted to practice hand-quilting plus I learned how to make mitered corners. They weren't perfect but worked for me. I went to some quilting ladies where I lived at the time and they were not at all helpful so I just figured it out on my own. I later learned that this was called a 'cheater' quilt because the fabric only looks like it was pieced. I still think it is pretty anyhow. Was a long time from mid 70's to 1999 but now I am really hooked. :-)
