My 1st block was a square in a square, on point. I started out making them by hand until the nice ladies on this site helped me to thread my sewing machine. Hmmm...wonder what happened to all those squares. :eek:
|
My first block and quilt was a log cabin in greens and whites, lap size. My son still has that quilt folded in the back seat of his car.
|
My very, very first quilt was a puff pillow quilt...made it for college for my bed. My first "real" quilt block was an Ohio Star block.

My first quilt was the Labyrinth - which has a lemoyne star, HST's, square & rectangles. I started making quilts in Nov 2011 and this one finally has made it to our bed!

Heavens, I don't even remember, probably a pretty basic 9-patch or 4-patch. And what's scary is it wasn't all that long ago. I've just made so many quilts since then, I can't recall which one I started with.

It was the Ohio Star. When I made it, I thought I did an awesome job. LOL
|
Ha, ha, ha! I started quilting in the 1960's so my very first block was a "granny square." I know that dates me. I've improved much since then!

It is fun to 'tickle' our memories from time to time. The first quilt attempt was yo-yos way back in the fifties. My father was night watchman in a downtown building and one of the building tenants gave him scraps from her dressmaking business and he brought them home to me. I must have made a gillion yo-yos but didn't know what to do with them and finally threw them away. I can't believe I actually threw them away. Boy, would I like to have them back! My next works were embroidered blocks and made into a baby quilt for our first son. That quilt hangs on a wall in his home-he's 45 now. In the '70's I got the first edition of Log Cabin by Quilt in a Day. It's been off to the races ever since. I'm still on the learning curve because I love to try new things. My love of quilting just increases as time goes along.

My first ever was a nine patch. Still have some of them but never did anything with them
