    Default My first finished quilt!

    I think i posted this earlier but my pictures didn't take! opps! lol
    So my first finished quilt. I did post last wk my first finished project that was a pot holder for my sister, but this is my first blanket sized item even if it is lap sized! LOL! i know there are alot of wonky spots wear things dont line up, but it is my first try, and with inferior tools to use at the time ( i cut all the blocks using a pairing knife! )
    But i do love it, and all its flaws, and the kitties seem to as well, they all curl up on it wear ever it is!

    People look at quilts as a whole. And this is pretty. Love the back.

    sign up at JoAnn.com and get their flyer so you can see when the 50% sales are on quilting supplies. It will go easier and faster with the right equipment.

    You are off to a great start. I think the hardest part is picking the fabric. You have the talent - comes natural!! The quilt and your picture taking are tremendous.

    Bless your heart, a paring knife.. I wonder if that's a first for the QB? I think it looks wonderful and you did a good job. Be proud of yourself. Unless that clothesline is awful low to the ground it sure looks larger than a lap top size. Keep up the good work.

    Wow!! You did it!! I'm so glad you took pictures, don't forget to put a label on the back and good luck on getting some proper equipment, I don't know how you did such a great job.
