My first quilt and start of my second
Well I have sure learned a lot doing this quilt .
Have learned how to run a sewing machine and to keep my cutting straight.
I,t was a lot of cutting as i was cutting with scissors. So I have got a roller cutter now and have learned the importance of ironing and ironing the seams the right way.
my next try is going to be these chains .
I tryed to do triangle but not at that level of skill yet they where all over the place.
But i,m having fun and thats the main thing
Have a good day every one.

You are off to a great start!! Your first quilt is very pretty. Love the backing fabric.
Your blocks look very well done. Yes, we all learn from our mistakes or as I continue to call them " learning opportunities". Lol don't be afraid to try something challenging just don't be in a rush when doing something new.
Keep up the good work!

Very nice! I've only been quilting since Oct. 2014 so I get where you are coming from. If you like learning, there is always something "new" to learn in quilting ... or at least for me. But I'm having a great time and wish I had started quilting years ago.
