Default After 5 years at quilting I finished my first quilt
I purchased my sewing machine in August of 2010, I have taken numerous quilting classes but 2015 was the year I finished my first quilt. Since it was my first quilt I decided to quilt it myself so the quilting is very basic. The reason I just got around to finishing my first quilt is I retired in May 2015.... more to come.

Beautiful first quilt although it sure doesn't look like a first. You did a great job!

Very nice. I love that pattern. And those paw print fabrics are great with the focus fabric

Looks great. Congratulations on "finishing" your first quilt, quilting it yourself and retiring. Happy Quilting!
