Very good for a first attempt. I wasn't nearly so venturous. That first project isn't seen by anyone.

sewjoyce 01-27-2009 12:58 PM

Very, very nice!!! Did you hand quilt it, too??

I just love you first quilt. The back is really pretty. I might have to try that idea out myself. Thank you for sharing.

Your first? WOW :shock: you are good! And brave! My first three were baby size. Lovely!

Very pretty :!: I love the colors, very country looking.

swimmom 01-28-2009 04:49 AM

Thank you all! It was machine quilted - very tight meandering at first - took awhile to make it more open and free. Two sided for two reasons - Daughter does not make her bed until she goes to bed - I also loved the material and knew that the additional practice would be good.

stonington 01-28-2009 05:48 AM

Love it! Such a happy quilt. I never thought to do the back in blocks.. great idea!

Picking the colors was easy - all from April Cornell, Maypole from Moda

Congrats on finishing your first quilt!!! You have done a terrific job and NO ONE would ever know it is a first time!!! I love your fabrics and the pattern you picked. And you made it two sided-that is something I have not attempted yet!!

Your DD must be proud as punch to have it on her bed!!

Grandma Cindy 01-29-2009 07:20 PM

It is wonderful, love the fabrics...

mgshaw 01-29-2009 09:13 PM

Gorgeous colors! Wonderful first quilt!!!! Well done!

pennyswings 02-01-2009 01:02 PM

Very nice quilt. Love the small squares on the top and the giant squares on the back, nice idea. Nice quilting too.
I am a new quilter too, just made my fifth quilt. I feel that I do have to warn you, just incase you did not already discover this, quilting is addictive. I do not know which is worse, thinking about my next quilt while working on my current one or buying fabrics because I never have enough patterns and colors. LOL :wink: Just teasing, however true it is, I love quilting.
