I posted yesterday about my machine breaking my thread. Turns out I was using hand quilting thread in my machine. Big mistake. I am a self taught quilter and had no idea...I bought what was cheaper. Again mistake! So I am finally done with my quilt in all its wonkynest I think I would have liked the results much better if I had been using good thread. Oh well next time for sure![ATTACH=CONFIG]349828[/ATTACH]

Oh yeah and before the quilt police start up, the first time I even touched a sewing machine was in April of this year. Not bad for self taught, but room for lotts of improvement!

Lessons learned the hard way are the least often forgotten. You did good. You learn with each and everyone. I still do. Good job.

Very pretty little quilt, someone is going to love it. I find that each quilt I make, I learn something new, usually the hard way Good for you to start out on your own. You are doing great.

Thanks for the tip - I would never have known that using the "wrong" thread would cause so many problems. I love your fabric choices and think you did a really nice job.

Looks good...especially for being such a "newbie"! And by the way, there are NO quilt police here...! Carry on, you're doing well and we'll expect great things out of you based on what we see already!
