    I made Double Irish Chain and it was the frist time I used a rotary cutter. It was a bedspread for a single bed .Far from perfect but I was pleased with myself. It is still on the bed.

    My first quilt was a Queen size Dresden Plate for my sister. Couldn't figure out how to machine quilt it, so also learned how to hand quilt!!! Loved it. It was very far from perfect but I was very proud of it and my sister loved it. Did I mention it took me a year? :(

    My first quilt.....A sampler....Two girls I worked with over 25 years ago were taking a class and talked me into doing it with them. I could use a sewing machine but barely did.

    I learned 4 to 6 blocks and methods a week and had to make 4 blocks a week. I learned everything. Not thrilled with my fabric choice but it was great fun.

    My first was a twin size rail fence made with six one-and-a-half inch strips in rainbow colors (ROYGBV)for my sister's first child -- very puffy and machine quilted SID. Then two more identical ones in quick succession for kids number two and three. Boring. I'll never make repeats again or use such puffy batting. But, what did I know?

    Is that the first one I finished or the first one I didn't finish? Okay, the first quilt I tried (and did not finish) was a simple charm type quilt. We had an old five and dime in my rural hometown and my Mom bought me some packs of 5 inch squares. I sewed them by hand. I still have the top but haven't quilted it yet so it is still an UFO.

    My first quilt was a red,white and turquoise 9 patch. All poly fabrics and batting. I hand quilted it and I saw it yesterday and all the quilting has come out, the quilt is still in one piece(mostly..its 20 years old). I used a cardboard template that I drew around with pencil and it got smaller as I went. I'm suprised that it all went together. :shock:
    I may put a new backing on it and requilt it by machine, it belongs to my DS, he got it for his 10th birthday. It took me 3 years to get it finished.

    I started with "Rail Fence" in the begning cause my quilting Guild which I applied with they have the lesson for beginner then the 2nd quilt was "Log cabin". Recently, I've been working on about start blocks that I like and planning to make many star qults for family but different style....
