This is a pretty quilt with a nice design and good color choices. I am glad it is no longer in storage.

It's got a lovely vintage vibe to it--classic design, the calicos, the green apple border--it all works. Glad your girl got it out of storage--that's no place for a treasure. Now you can both rest easy.

Kool. Love that she still had it and it now is out of storage. It's a fine quilt and still very pretty. BrendaK

I would have added that this is my first and it was made in 1993. I have made many quilts since this one.

What a wonderful keepsake to have as a reminder of how far you’ve come as a quilter.

The colors are fine. As long as they play well together, it’s all good. Nice to see it finished and being used.

This is the first one I did. I gave it to my sister, so I still get to see it because she lives right next door. A Nine Patch, that was tied. I did not actually quilt them back then.
