Very pretty. I have a Turning Twenty that isn't quilted yet either. :)

This is the first quilt I ever made. It was for my baby doll, who still has it as you can see. My mother received some one inch square fabric samples (heaven only knows what for) and let me have them. I must have been around seven years old? Even then I knew to make the ties REAL big so no one could see that the corners didn't meet!!

My first ever Quilt was a queen size Kaleidoscope and I tied it because it was so large , but I may take the back off and but a new one on it someday and quilt it..I made it back in 1988-1989, then started and finished my second Queen size quilt by
2000. that my little Sis now has.I have since made 4 more, and I UFQ.. :D

The very first one I made, was for a senior survival class in highschool. The middle of the quilt was bright felt squares(cannot remember all the colors), bordered with something that I can't remember and it was backed with a holly hobby sheet, that the rest of the set had gone kapluie with.

It was sandwiched with polyester batting and I belive I had to put the sheet and the top facing each other with the batting in the middle, sew around(I think this is called the pillow method) and then leave some room for you to put your hand in and turn it right side out. Then handstich that hole closed. It was tied.

It kept me warm through college.

I then went dormat more or less till a few years ago. There was an attempt to hand stitch a wedding quilt(from fabric I liked but didn't look weddeny)

This is my first quilt. I must have been about 13 or 14. My daughter has it now, and loves that ugly ole' creation.

My first quilt was Buckeye Beauty. My sister-in-law is a lifelong Avid quilter, so about 10 years ago, I thought it would be a good hobby for me, too. The pattern came from a quilting book I picked randomly from a bookstore shelf, "Quick and Easy Scrap Quilts," by Leisure Arts. That book became my quilting bible. I Still reference it.

I tied the quilt, but I had used cotton batting. Eventually I learned that was a no-no for a tied quilt, so I called my friend and told her, "Never Wash Your Quilt." lol... Ironically, I have it! We live 2,000 miles apart and had a visit recently and I asked for it back so that I could properly quilt it. It's all apart on my sewing table, but I won't be able to get to it for a couple of weeks (going out of town soon).

Funny this subject came up.

I believe my first quilt was called Annie's Choice. I did not know about bias...I just cut out the fabric in any old direction. :cry: Lord did I have myself a mess! :roll: I got it together but after all of these years it still has not been quilted. :D Maybe one day. :D

I just LOVE your beautiful window quilts!! :thumbup: What a gorgeous way to keep out the drafts. :D Do you push them open during the day? Or, is it too stiff with the batting to do that? I ask, because I'm thinking of doing the same thing here in my sewing room. Thank you so much for sharing your terrific ideas and quilts with us.

Thank you all so much for sharing your beautiful quilts and stories.

I am completely embarrassed to admit :oops: that I don't know any of the names of the quilts that are mentioned, i.e,. log cabin, etc. I sure hope I haven't bitten off more than I can chew!
