Love the term 'sacrificial' quilts. Your first quilt looks FINE! You've got the right idea - keep on sewing. You'll get better with each new quilt.

Your quilt is beautiful. Does this pattern have a name? We have one like it and always called in a crazy quilt, but I realize now it is not that one. Ours is very old and will be the next to last I will repair. I have the blocks cut already. The last one will be my hexagon - little tiny ones all over the quilt!

Jammin' Jane 05-02-2011 12:44 PM

It sure looks good to me!
Nice job!

RobertaMarie 05-02-2011 01:18 PM

If there are mistakes, we sure don't see them. Don't point them out, and no one will know!!!:D
It is a very pretty quilt, and I wish you many more!

I saw a tube quilt video from Missouri quilting and basically did a small version from memory. Used 3" x 42" strips and sewed colors together I thought complemented one another. I have a box full of 3" strips, grouped by fabric pattern with a tag on each group that tells me how many strips I have. I used groups that only had 2-3 strips so that I could use them up. When the tube is all sewn together I cut in 3" strips again, then you have to rip out each succeeding seam so that you can alternate the colored squares. The video would help a lot. Layout is important. I hope this helps.

Very pretty! Love your colors. Did you strip piece or tube piece this? (Either way is a fun and easy way to do these. Your next challenge.) :D

laalaaquilter 05-02-2011 06:36 PM

Lovely! Great fabrics.

karate lady 05-02-2011 06:37 PM

good job. i think a mistake or two is what makes it handmade and not machine made. in fact i tend to deliberately leave a mistake or two .smile
