I made my first quilt @ 25 years ago. I finally began quilting again this summer, and just finished my first quilt. I made this quilt to be donated to www.QuiltsForKids.org and will be sending it in shortly.

It is machine pieced and quilted. I picked the fabric myself (rather than ask the charity to send me the fabric).

There are many minor mistakes, but I don't think a typical child will notice it or care.

love it! looks nice & snuggly. Do you need someone to try it out? I am "quality control' around my house & I sleep with each & every quilt I make before I give them away!

very nice...just finishing up one for them as well...

Wow! The back looks as pretty as the front - both are beautiful!

Job well done and for a good cause:)

I think it is wonderful!

Very nice. Some child is going to love this.

I didn't see any mistakes, so no child will. I love it.

This will provide many happy memories in times that are troubling for some child. You have done a wonderful quilt for a wonderful purpose.

Very nice!!!

It's just beautiful.

Nice job on the quilting and on finishing a UFO.

very nice

very pretty, it will definately be loved & i think i'm a typical adult & don't see the problems ;) it's perfect for a boy too and sometimes i think they get left out of more manly quilts as we often like the pretty, bright, cutesy stuff.

Ditto :thumbup: :thumbup:

I really like your quilt, you did a fantastic job of quilting it!

Fantastic straight line quilting. Curves are easy. Straight lines and echoed straight lines are difficult. You mastered the technique. Well done.

That is a very nice quilt. What mistakes...I don't see any! Love the quilting you did on it too. Makes the back look nice as the front!!

Looks really good to me. Minor mistakes don't count! Glad you are back into quilting. I've got one planned, just need a jump start!

Beautiful! I couldn't see anything symbolising a mistake! It is gorgeous and I love the quilting too! Well, you have done well to complete something started out 25 years ago!!

I purposely looked for colors/patterns that might appear to a boy in his early teens. It was much harder to pick that out than for a young boy or girl of any age.

Thank you for all the wonderful comments!

some child is going to be very happy, beautiful work.

Very nice :-P

Wow! Great quilt!

Really pretty. Love the quilting on the back too.

very nice!!! I do Quilts for Kids also, great charity!!

Awesome! A child will be very happy to receive this quilt :D:D:D

That is so neat. I, too, sleep with my quilts before I give them away to add more of my energy to them.

very nice and going to be loved by a child I'm sure

Very pretty way to quilt this. The back is as attractive as the front!

Congrates on finishing it, that is the accomplishment all in itself! Great Job!

What a great kids quilt. Love the quilting you did that makes both the front & the back interesting. Nice job & for a great charity too.

The quilting looks great. I like the back as well as the front.

What a great way to get back into the world of quilting!!

Sweet and ready to be cuddled and loved
