My first quilt was a "fan" quilt.... didn't keep it because I had no idea what I was doing and it fell apart the first time I washed it... didn't quilt again for many years, then starting teaching myself the correct way to make a quilt.... I am pleased to say none of the others have fallen apart with laundry. :P

The pattern I used for my first quilt I made up. It was all pinwheels & with the fabrics I chose you can hardly tell! I called it the 20 year quilt becuase I started in in 1984 & finished it in 2004. I still have it & use it in our camper. It is backed in flannel & with all of those 1/2" seams it is very heavy & warm!

9 patch. It is still unfinished. The next 7 were for kids in the family.

My first quilt was made of blue bandannas with an old flannelette blanket for filling and a sheet for the back all straight machine quilting (made ca. 1970) and used and used until it was rags. No one would have wanted it, honest.

A roman candle and I still have it. Done in shades of red.

My first quilting projects were 2 Around the World pillows with 1" squares that I hand quilted around each sq,lol I didn't know any better & yes I do still have them My first full size quilt was a red, white & blue 9 patch that my grandson carried off with when he was young. I let him sleep with it when he spent the night & he thought it was his...I didn't have the heart to take it away.

My very first was 100 - 2" squares, ten across and ten down.
This was my collection for the 100th day of school project. I was a teaching asst. It hangs on my office wall. Here is a picture of the next real quilt I did. Just found two blocks I liked and then winged it on my own. It still hangs above the headboard of my bed. Still one of my favorites. |
