I did this quilt in the winter for my niece, it was my first finished quilt. I just winged a pattern as I went.

Just wanted to share it.

Thanks.

Very nice quilt and very cute baby! Good for you for finishing it. Now, on to the next one?

I forgot to mention that so far I've been hand piecing, hand quilting and hand binding, so the stitches are pretty big, and its not perfectly squared up by any means.

I would say this is a great job of winging!. Turned out very pretty.

This was my second, before I bound it. I also just did whatever for this as well. I seem to get stressed by strict patterns, and feel less creative... not that the result of my creativity is fantastic, its just more satisfying :)

I just finished my third yesterday, I'll try to post a pic when I get home from work, its a singed questbook quilt from my sisters wedding a couple weeks ago. it was pretty fun too :)

Very nice quilts. I am glad to see someone from the Bay Area in this board.

Contra Costa County :) Love the small town feel along with mall access

I'm just over in Alameda County right on the edge of the bay. My mother-in-law lives in Martinez and we go there a lot.
