That is so beautiful. I saw the title "My First Quilt" and opened it. It took my breath away.
Then I thought back to my first quilt (30 years ago)and started laughing at myself--what did I know about quilting.
I had a baby panel I wanted to quilt for a dear friend. I was so proud of myself and happier when the mother-to-be loved it. I told my aunt later about it. She made the most gorgeous quilts and asked to see it but I had already given it away.
We had a good laugh when she told me I was supposed to hide the knots. I begged my friend to give it back to me so I could requilt it but she said no she loved it just as it was. Believe me those knots are well hidden now!
