My name is Michelle and I'm sorta new to quilting. Rather than start small and work my way to larger projects I went big first haha. I started a queen size quilt (top is done) and got no farther than that. Has been sitting for 5 years waiting to be finished. Not sure if I will finish that on my own or find an experienced person to pay and do it for me so it isn't a disaster.
That's as far as I got with any quilting honestly. I have several ideas I want to accomplish and I am looking forward to learning block patterns, finishing, and other fun techniques. Here is a picture of my quilt top: http://www.blueaffliction.com/I/quilt4.JPG |

Welcome, you are off to a good start, maybe starting something smaller now and finishing it will be the inspiration you need to complete your first quilt top. Great job BTY.

Ok so I got it all out to put together and noticed a row was sewn the wrong way. OOPS!! (if you look carefully in the picture you can see it) I also discovered my squares weren't lined up right. So, I have picked it all apart to fix everything. All picked apart, squares all pressed, and sorted to sew back together PROPERLY lol. I woulda been so mad if I didn't notice the booboo until AFTER I had sewn on the back.
I also came up with another idea for the border to add the new backing fabric as part of the front too. |
