What was pattern of your 1st Quilt and did you keep it?

Queen sized Hole in the Barn Door - had fussy cut centers and cornerstones. Made in 1998. Was in the guest room for many years. Recently confiscated it and put on my bed. Needs some TLC where seam allowance was much less than 1/4 inch.

I took a quilt in a day class..We made a log cabin.. Did not know a thing about colors.. but picked out some blues and pinks.. It has faded over the years but I still have it.. Have made many more since then..Love quilting..

Fun to think back! I believe my first one was alternating patches of red and blue with Superman appliqued from some retro fabric. I think I quilted stars where the corners met. My son was about 6 and loved Superman.

My very first one was 4 or 5" squares of velvets from scraps that I saved from upholstery jobs. I pieced them into rows, then sewed the rows into one big HEAVY quilt! I tied it to a sheet backing, had to use pliers to pull the needle through. It was of course too heavy to sleep under, but my purrbaby loved it! A few years later I borrowed a truck dolly and hauled it over to a friend's as a gift.
The next "real" quilt I made was a log cabin, three of them actually. One for me, one for my Mom, and one for my sister. My MIL complained she didn't get one so I gave her mine. When she passed 11 years ago I got it back, so I finally own a queen quilt! But the colors are no longer to my taste so it sits in the cabinet...

My first quilt was a Rail Fence and it is still sitting on a spare bed in my home. I cringe when I look at all the mistakes but it brings back happy memories when my mom was able to join me for the class.
