I hope it is not too long after the thread to post here. That is a beautiful quilt and one you should be very proud to have as your first. I am a very new quilter myself and one of these days I will post some pictures. (I have only completed one quilt to date, but have four tops done.)
Did you do the quilting yourself? It is gorgeous. I have been practicing my machine quilting and it is not easy ... :thumbup:
