- - 1st quilt !!!!! (https://www.quiltingboard.com/pictures-f5/1st-quilt-t44852.html)

You have many new sisters who would love it!! Pink is not my colour, but I think it looks great - and I am impressed that you finished anything - I am still finishing tops to quilt.

I really like your quilt, you did a fabulous job , and I would
just make them for yourself for a while and let them come to you if they want a quilt, that way you'll know when you make it
that it will be wanted and loved. Everyone here has gave you some good advice and we all love your work so keep quilting :thumbup:

i love the soft colors in your quilt-you did a great job for your first one. People are funny aren't they? I made my MIL a wall hanging a couple of years ago for Christmas, put alot of time and effort into it, and she hardly glanced at it when she opened it set it aside and i found it in a closet when i went to clean out her house.

This is me totally!! Before I've even finished a project I'm thinking about what I'm going to title my picture thread. :D I definitely get the best response and feedback from this group. I really love it here. :)

To the original poster, your quilt is lovely and is very good for a first! I'm sorry you didn't get the response you were hoping for from your sister. Like a lot of members have already stated, I don't think non-quilters understand the work involved in making a quilt. I recently gave my mom a wall hanging I made for Mother's Day and though she was thankful and said it was beautiful, she didn't give me quite the response I was looking for. She just didn't seem real excited about it. My husband suggested the same thing a few other members did. Make some stuff for myself and just keep the next few projects.

Great job and looking forward to seeing your second!

This is a very pretty quilt and you did a great job with it. I know it feels really excellent to finish one!

It is beautiful. Congrats on your first quilt!

I think it is beautiful. Most people don't realize how much work goes into making a quilt. You did a great job.

Congratulations on your first quilt. The colors are lovely, and go well with the pattern. You did a terrific job on this; don't know why she wasn't thrilled to pieces.

Welcome to the addiction of quilting. Do it because you enjoy the process and the result, not for what others think.
