Great job!

Great quilt! The first quilt I made was supposed to be a quilt-as-you-go log cabin and I made it for my sister's wedding. The back looked absolutely horrible and I covered it with a sheet and then added some tacking to keep it together! (I haven't wanted to make a log cabin since!) My sister and her husband eventually divorced and I was told that they argued over who got the quilt. She did. She was killed in a car accident a few years ago. Her daughter brought me the quilt a few months ago and asked if I could repair it. It is too far gone. It was apparently well loved and well used. The fabric is really, really faded and worn. I doubt there is a block in it that isn't damaged. I like the idea that she loved it and used it! I'm sure your sister treasures the quilt that you made, too. (It looks great to me and I know a bit more about quilting than I did when I made the one for my sister!)

Your quilt turned out great, sometimes we are our own worst enemies. Your quilting is wonderful, jealous that you can do FMQ and I still can't after sewing for 14 1/2 years. Keep it up, you are a natural!

O.K., so what is your memory of how bad you think your quilt is? I think it looks just great, and personally do not see anything wrong your quilt. You did great on the FM I still don't do well in that area and I have been quilting for years now. So glad your sister liked it and appreciated the love and work that went into making her this gift. Keep up the good work and enjoy your time. Quilting for me is fun and I have enjoyed almost every quilt I have made. Thanks for sharing. Welcome, you will find that folks on this board are very generous with their advice and help as well as very honest with their opinions and criticism. I haven't experienced anyone yet that has been hateful or tacky with their comments.

Thank you all for your comments. Using the jelly rolls made the color choices for me. I notice that my practice blocks have shown me how hard good color choices can be, and how very visible a poor choice becomes!

For a first quilt I think you did an amazing job. Wish you could see my first one. No, maybe it is better you don't see it. LOL
