Congratulations!!!!

If all else fails, call a GS and pull him away from his "game" long enough to walk you through the picture posting thing. I have posted a few pictures on the QB, and my camera has the right setting for sizing, just keep on working at it. My kids go straight from their up-to-date phones to post a picture for me; but ours is a flip-phone, so we don't even bother with it. I have been asked to post pictures by the ladies (and gents) here, but I'm not good enough at it just to go straight to posting and a picture.

So so happy for you. Please post a picture.

Congrats !!! Isn't that first Ribbon a wonderful feeling?

CONGRATULATIONS on your 3rd place ribbon, I'm sure the quilt was beautiful. Do you have a picture available?

Congrats! Happy for you.

Congrats on your ribbon, especially since you did all of it by yourself! I feel the same way that you do: I make my from beginning to binding as well.

Congratulations! !! That's awesome

So happy for you.

" I have learned a lot from my quilting friends. I got a HandiQuilter 16 a couple of years ago and have taken FMQ classes at International Festival. In my heart, a quilt is not truly mine unless I piece and quilt it."

I totally share your sentiment on stitching the whole thing myself. I am so proud of you!!!! I am a fairly new quilter and just purchased a Sweet Sixteen, also. My goal is to become proficient enough to quilt my close friends quilts within a year feeling confident not to mess them up. Practice for me and discount for them. Sorry you're not able to get the picture uploaded, but it has to be gorgeous to have won. There should be a category for FMQing and piecing together!! (maybe there is in some shows?)
