This was made by my daughters best friend (18 yrs) for her niece Ava. It was her very first, and she's never sewn before. I myself am a very new quilter and was very nervous about mentoring her, but it came out beautiful!! Now on to quilt it!

Beautiful job! Would never guess it was her 1st quilt.

Good job

Thanks all! The ONLY thing I'd complain about is that she wanted to applique the flowers, got them ironed on, but then decided that iron on was good enough. lol. Applique was more work than she wanted to do. It's fine, it's hers.
Yes, she's going to do at least one more for her not yet born nephew.
She's really pleased now that she sees how exciting the finished project is. She wasn't so fond of it as she was piecing and not able to see the whole picture.

HI Kim. Looks like your a great mentor to me. Beautiful quilt.
I'm using the thread catcher/pin cushion you made me ALOT.
You are talented. Back to quilting and loading up the thread catcher. :thumbup:

WOW! All her points look perfect. Amazing job for a first-timer! She was born to quilt & you were born to lead her!!!

nlgh 10-05-2011 08:12 PM

That is very good for someone who has never sewed before. I love the colors. Perfect for a little girl.

Aww thanks!! They really are!! She was really conscientious of them too. And the flowers look so cute. I thought it wouldn't look so good without sewing around them, but it really does look cute! Is that what's called raw edge appliqué??

cathylynn 10-05-2011 11:06 PM

pretty colors. quite nice.

QM 10-05-2011 11:14 PM

Tell her that I wish my first had been anywhere NEAR that good!

HeathaWeatha 10-05-2011 11:26 PM

So Kim, I made an account but don't tell Val. Lol. And thank you soooo much everyone, I feel so accomplished to have made this. The biggest challenge is going to be not giving it to her until Christmas xD

Willa 10-05-2011 11:28 PM

She did fantastic.
