Oh my! That is stunning! Your sister is a very lucky lady! I think you should change your board name to "Intrepid Quilter"! I am totally impressed and can't wait to see the finished product. Isn't it wonderful that we don't realize what we are getting into until we are hooked on the process and the pleasure?

woahhhh! If that's your first quilt, I can't wait to see what you do when you've been doing this for a while! You certainly did challenge yourself, but you're nailing it. Keep posting! wow. <going back to look at this again!> First quilt?.....?.....lol. Nice, brave, smart girl. and a gift to boot. Awesome.

It's beautiful. Your doing a great job, can't wait to see it when it's done.

You are doing an incredible job, congratulations, diamonds are always tough with inset seems and you seemed to have overcome. Thank you.

I'm getting ready to start my first quilt, and it is YEARS before I'll be ready to tackle anything like that! I'm nervous about my attempt, and I'm just going to be stitching together pre-cut jelly roll strips!!

All I can say is WOW WOW WOW! You are doing an excellent job! And I agree with crqltr......I couldn't part with a beauty like this if it were my first. Keep the pics coming!

I should do so well on my 20th quilt!!!!! Beautiful!!

The quilt is wonderful. I hope your sister knows what you are going through for her or you can tell her someday. What a wonderful wedding gift.

Wow! You are doing a great job and on a complicated pattern. That looks like a hard one for a first quilt! You can do it!

Your 1st quilt, OMG!!! That is absolutely GORGEOUS. You certainly don't need help from anyone here. You could teach us a thing or two about creativity & skill. Kudos to you. Please show us the finished product. It is beautiful.
