Here is the first ever quilt I made
6 week class to make the sampler blocks and assemble the top

I then took another brief class on Machine quilting....
Quilted tons of Practice sandwiches and then took the plunge...

I LOVED IT!!
Don't completely LOVE the colors.
I think its the FLoral I dont love
but I am learning to trust my own instincts now

I hope this works
This should have been the last pics but I was confused
The sunlight on my table that day made the sticthes
show up in the picsures so nicely!

Ok i know what I did
Tried to do three at a time

Sorry guys

here is the completed quilt

This is the lable I made using T-SHirt Transfer
I LOVE the look of it but I was too stiff
I was in a rush - so I used what I had at home....

I have bought the injet lable paper now
and am anxious to try it out

Very nice Job. Beautiful first quilt, I am impressed! Colors look great too. You are off to a great start

That quilt is beautiful, you got a lot of talent.

Thanks So much Twistedsticher - (Love the name by the way)
I loved the whole process - The class was just great
the teacher was awesome
She made us cookies and tea every week
a 3 hour class for 6 weeks...
I was proud of myself too for finishing it
many in the class did not...
I dont know how much talent I have
but Passion seems to be filling the bill so I am very happy
We did a block each class and then home work blocks
I chronicled the whole process - block my block on my facebook
picture albums if anyone is interested...
I explained what I was learning under each block...

WOW!! Wish my first quilt had looked that good.

thanks kd - I had a great teacher and loads of enthusiam to want to learn how... I have wanted to learn for so many years and then my Dad passed away last spring and I am looking at 40 so I decided its time to learn and I went at it with full force!

Great Job Sheila!! Looks like you've been quilting for years!! Very nice!
Oh yes & welcome to the board!! I think you'll enjoy all the quilters here. They are a great bunch.

Beautiful! I just love it.

Very nice job. Can't wait to see what is next.

THAT is your first quilt????????? Good lord girl, your a nateral PRO... That is GORGEOUS

WOW, YOU SHOULD BE PROUD. IT'S TERRIFIC

I'm impressed. This is a beautiful first quilt.

Very pretty quilt and you sure took to quilting rapidly. My first quilt wasn't anything like that. Great job and welcome to you from Washington state.

amazing job on your first quilt! Hard to believe anyone would tackle all that detail their first time out, but koodos for doing it!

That look great! Colors, quilting, everything.

Beautiful quilt. I wish I could do that. I love the colors in this quilt. Keep up the beautiful work.

To be a first quilt it is stunning. Did you hand quilt it? What a great quilt colours and all. You are hooked now so get ready to buy material after material. The only frustration you will have is not time enough to sew.
