It is absolutely beautiful and look how nicely it hangs! It's ready for the quilt show! :thumbup:

You guys are wonderful. It felt so good to get some postive feed back.I have no idea how it got started in pink since it's not my colors and it is sooo girly. I even did a matching pillow for her. Oh well live and learn. From now on I'll make them for myself!! And I will gladly take all the offers for sisters, more the merrier.

I think your quilt is beautiful. Very good job

Your quilt looks great and I love the colors and prints you chose. You done good, girl. Keep it up.

grandma Janice 05-05-2010 08:25 PM

You did a good job. most of us will tell you our first quilt wasn't nearly as well done. As my daughter always tells me,
We are always our worst critic. You can be proud of yours.

danmar 05-05-2010 08:56 PM

Hey Nurse! I like your quilt. I think you did very good for your first quilt and your sister must be very happy to have it. Thanks for sharing!

Great Job, very pretty.

maggiemuggins 05-06-2010 07:02 AM

Love the colours...wonderful job...does your sister sew or quilt...she probably doesnt realize how much time and love you have put into this project...on to the next one and just know within yourself that you have created a beautiful project.

Rainbow 05-06-2010 07:53 AM

Just lovely !!

CraftsByRobin 05-06-2010 08:06 AM

It's beautiful :) I'd be thrilled to receive that quilt!

JJean 05-06-2010 08:37 AM

Gee I'm glad you told me it was your first quilt because I never would have guessed. It's time to start your next and the next....you get the idea. Have fun! :thumbup:

Lyn4ty 05-06-2010 08:44 AM

Keep on quilting, that first one is so pretty! If you keep quilting you will learn by your challenges and mistakes. Remember we are all out here to help each other so when you have a question just ask. Too bad your sister didn't understand how much work and love went into this quilt. Don't dispare though it is a lovely well done quilt you can be proud of!!

kwiltkrazy 05-06-2010 08:55 AM

Your quilt looks so soft and inviting. My Grandma made soft cuddly quilts you had to snuggle up with. I still have one of her quilts, I often take it out and snuggle with it. Especially when I miss her.

It looks structurally sound, too. My first quilts weren't square(didn't know they were suppose to be), and they had a little bulge in them.

mem123 05-06-2010 07:27 PM

I think it's beautiful. The colors are so soft. I'd love to have it...What do sisters know anyhow??? ;)

I made it for my sister and she didn't seem overly thrilled with it. Or maybe I was just too excited and expected too much. But regardless I'm just happy that I DID IT!!!! I'm the one that the sewing machine would run out of the room when I walked in.

WOW!! Great job! I can hardly wait to see what your next quilt is going to be.

Well, it doesn't look like the sewing machine ran this time! You did a lovely job on your first quilt. Please keep quilting...we want to see more!

You did a great job. You should be proud. Your sister may not be the type that appreciates hand made things. In the years ahead she will treasure it more because you made it for her. And once someone snuggles under a quilt, they will reach for it time and again.

candi 05-07-2010 05:20 PM

A beautiful quilt, well done.

craftybear 05-07-2010 05:21 PM

Awesome on your 1st quilt, great job!

lillybeck 05-07-2010 05:34 PM

Evangeline 05-07-2010 06:25 PM

Margie 05-08-2010 04:35 PM

I think you did a fantastic job! I would never have guessed it is a first attempt.

zz-pd 05-10-2010 11:04 PM

dkabasketlady 05-11-2010 07:31 AM

Beautiful quilt! I'm sew sorry that your DS didn't appreciate all the work and love that you put in this for her! There's plenty on this board that would love to have this! You did an awesome job for your first quilt! Keep on quilting!!!

jljack 05-11-2010 12:04 PM

Good job!! First quilts are always special to us...I still have mine, and no one's getting it until I die!! :lol: :lol: I think you did great, and the pink is so soothing.

bev195000 05-11-2010 01:04 PM

Honest opinion that quilt is beautiful you have done well and i can see you have put a lot of work into the quilt

watson's mom 05-11-2010 01:46 PM

Your first quilt is a winner. If you sister dosen't care for it I will send you my address. Looking forward to seeing more from you. Carol

nativetexan 05-11-2010 02:02 PM

you should tell her how many hours it took to shop, design, cut and sew it all together.

Pammy 06-24-2010 04:34 AM

The quilt you made is very pretty. You should be proud.

Justquilting 06-24-2010 04:46 AM

Very pretty!
People that don't quilt don't realize how much thought, time, work & expense goes into it.
Be proud of it!!!

Now move on to a quilt for yourself & enjoy it!

Elisabrat 06-24-2010 05:16 AM

Your sister obviously doesnt quilt therefore has no clue how much love went into the making. I quilt and I love it so tell her to send it to me!!! It was a big first quilt by the way. You did a great job and I know you will continue to make beautiful quilts. Your eye for color is very good. Its a soft, cozy looking easy on the eye quilt. Bravo!

Ditter43 06-24-2010 07:43 AM

You have nothing to worry about...your quilt is wonderful!!! What's next? :thumbup:

SUSAN 06-24-2010 08:18 AM

For a first, it's wonderful!! I'd be thrilled to get a pretty quilt like that!!!!

AnneT 06-24-2010 08:28 AM

WOW, you made a beautiful quilt! I love the colours, looks like spring, my favourite season. Be proud of yourself, will you?
Promise?
Just have a look at the amount of positive comments, that speaks for itself.
