    Of course you have, but that's half the fun of the challenge:)

    In all seriousness you'll be fine.

    Gday, my first quilt was a Camp Quality T-shirt Quilt, it is my profile pic. I did this for Kids with Cancer and it went to a little girl in South Australia who was terminal. I haven't heard from her since it was given to her. She loved the colours as did my children who wanted one for themselves. I just hope that she got a lot from it. :)

    Have really enjoyed reading your stories...we all have to start somewhere.
    In 1981..My first quilt was a pinwheel..the templates were cut from a cereal box. I decided to put a yellow blanket on for the back and then tied it. It was in purple and lavender calicoes.
    I STILL have a stack of two tone purple pinwheels sitting on my ironing board! Only they were made with paper hst papers! I still like the look of pinwheels but have made many many lone star quilts once I learned about the greatest inventions on earth...rotary cutter, cutting mat & rulers.

    My first quilt was a sampler, hand pieced in blues and cream fabrics. Hand quilted it 7 years after - it had become one of the many UFOs until then. Has had years of use since albeit a little faded.

    My first quilt was an irish chain baby quilt. Also my first quilt to free motion. I was hooked after that!
