First efforts by a beginner
2 Attachment(s)
[ATTACH=CONFIG]409786[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]409785[/ATTACH]After reading and educating myself via this board and craftsy.com I have been very nervous about tackling a big quilt. Having a little break from work I finally decided to just use some random fabrics and start making some easy blocks from block of the month 2012. I am very glad I have finally begun on my quilting journey, just a pieced top with borders still to add and the quilting and binding to go, but have enjoyed it so much. I just know now I have begun I will learn and improve as I go. Thank you for the hints, tips, and inspiration I have found here on this board. Will try to upload photo.

Lovely. Your first is miles above my first..or second, or third for that matter

Welcome to the world of quilting. Your quilt is lovely and your piecing is great. I've taken some classes, but really most of what I have learned comes from the internet. There is so much to learn out there. Have fun on your quilting journey.

Good first blocks. The way you are learning reminds me of my quilting journey. I started by buying a book on learning to quilt. I then learned so much from watching a show on HGTV called "Simply Quilts".
|
You're in good company here. Lots of good information & fun every day. I like what you've made!
|
Nice work. Looking forward to your next project.

You did a good job here. Many beginners would not have considered what you did to be easy. Hurray!

Right sides together, starch is my friend, press DO NOT RUB with the iron, press to the dark! Repeated over and over as I sewed. Courtesy of all of the posts I have been reading here, so thank you all! |
