Back to quilting - My first quilt for me!
 

I recently posted a picture of a doll that I made that under the title "What I do when I am not quilting...humoring friends". Immediately after I got that doll finished, I started a quilt for ME. I have been quilting roughly 16 - 17 years now and have never made myself a quilt....until this weekend. Its done and its mine. Im keeping it. I promise. I am really happy with how it turned out. I was inspired by the jelly race quilts I have been seeing so I came up with a little something of my own. It was made with 1 1/2" finished strips and overall measures 55 x77....just big enough for me to curl up under while watching a movie. I had my two youngest sons layout the color placement. There are 4 strips each of the 10 colors, so they both got to do two sets, my only request was that they didn't follow the same pattern as the first set as I wanted it to be somewhat random. I machine quilted in just a few hours. My avitar is also used as my signature block on my quilts. On this quilt, I sewed my fatsew cat into the lower corner. I am still going to put a signature block on the back with the date and location of where it was made, just like I would with any other quilt I make. Thanks for looking and sharing your thoughts on my very first quilt. Now, Im off to watch a movie and test it out.

Awesome-love the quilting!

So pretty and love the kitty!

This is a great quilt!! I love it. Reminds me of the game Jenga. Very cool!

Pretty colors and quilting is great.

This is a quilt well deserved. Love the colors. Love the pattern. Enjoy using it every chance you can.

My first quilt for me
 

Fatsewcat - Your jelly roll quilt is one of the prettiest I have seen. You should name it Mine Mine Mine, as suggested in one of the messages. Also I love the addition of your avatar in the quilting. I have to tell you where the name Cleodaisy came from. I have two 15-year-old tabby sisters named Cleo and Daisy. Great minds think alike..lol

I love this one....want to copy it as I have some nice, pretty fabric pieces.......

Love the colors and the pattern.

Nice quilt and good job of laying out the colors, really like the cat logo at the bottom............... cool idea!

Pretty quilt!

Love me some cats.

I have one with that name that was a round robin but I cant decide how to quilt it so it is still just a top but it will be for me too once I get it quilted. Its pink and brown. I figured those colors would ward off the boys (I live with 4) from using it.
