Wow! You did amazing well on your first quilt! Both color ways look great. I can't decide with one I like better.

Very lovely!

They are both beautiful but I think I like the blue one best. Nice work, you should be proud.

I think those are fantastic first attempts...would never know they were firsts! Nice job. :)

Wow! I'm impressed. Your co-workers must be thrilled!

I love them both, beautiful work.

ohhh they are both beautiful

Both quilts are wonderful, and they must be very special co-workers to get your first quilts. Good work!

Thank you all for the lovely, encouraging words. I was so nervous. I was frustrated when I spent how many hours and then my quilting was horrible, but I was out of time. Then I remembered about the galloping horse. Getting the quilt to move when quilting was my biggest problem, some of the stitches are sooo close together. Notice, I didn't take close up pictures. Thanks again, it really makes me feel good to hear such kind words.

they are both beautiful quilts :)
