I am still working on my first, second, third, fourth and fifth quilt! Took classes but never ended with a finished product. I am now working dilligently to finish one and hope to post it soon. It is a QAYG and I am not a fan, yet.

My first quilt was a hand pieced Star Sampler. 12 different blocks, set together with sashing and corner stones. I started quilting in the mid 70's

My first was 8" blocks sewn together for a baby quilt for my nephew, SID, this was about 1976. I also made a cheater panel and hand sewed it shortly thereafter. I remember I used to put multiple layers of batting in them, because I liked them to be really puffy. I made a lap sized quilt for my niece in stars that I thought I made up, but I've seen similar ones since. I saw it later in my sister's trunk, so possibly that's why I stopped making quilts for about 30 years, and just started again 2 years ago.

My first quilt was a Rail Fence quilt that I made for myself. It wasn't long before my youngest daughter claimed it, and every Saturday morning, she would wake me up and we would drink hot chocolate and watch the cartoons "Cadillac and Dinosaurs" and "Tom and Jerry" while wrapped up in the quilt on the couch. I still have the quilt, hot chocolate stains and all. That was in 1992 and my daughter is almost 24. I made several others after that, but quit for many years until recently. Now I have a list of quilts I want to make and so have been trying to collect fabric. You know, nieces, daughters, grandkids, etc......

My first quilt was a 9 patch that my grandmother helped me start using fabric scraps left over from clothes we had made when I was 13. At the same time she started me on a GFG. The 9patch took about 5 years, completely hand pieced on both sides of a queen sized quilt and tied at first, then hand quilted. Never did finish the GFG - got enough done for a pillow. Grandma gave me a 2.5" paper template square for the 9 patch, and a 2.5" paper hexagon template for the GFG.

First was for first daughter. Baby animals embroidered by hand then sashed in pink flannel and backed with pink flowered flannel. She is now 39 and she has this and used it when her daughter was born 2 yrs. ago. Brings back memories.

the first quilt i did was in the early 1990's. i was sewing four squares together into four patches. i made so many that i placed each block facing each other and sewed around, leaving an opening. i turned them right side out and stuffed with squares of batting. then i sewed the opening together. What to do with tons of stuffed four patches? I ended up butting them next to each other and zig zagging them together into rows and the rows into a queen size quilt. i had tons of buttons to so i sewed buttons in the centers of the four patches, both sides. The quilt was reversible, light fabric and buttons on one side and darker fabrics and buttons on the other. I kept if for years and finally put it in my charity stuff since it took up so much room to store it. too fluffy for me by then.

I made a baby quilt for my oldest ( now 43! Yikes!). It was embroidered bunnies on yellow rectangles that I machine quilted and used my new sewing machine's decorative stitch on. Saved it for use with her kids. She thought it looked too old,and I think the cat has it now!
