Started quilting this afternoon still have more to do. Just doing straight stitching. Not perfect but not expecting it to be. I am naming it “Learning”.

I like the colors you picked. It will be a good quilt to snuggle with

​Looking good! The only way to learn is to just jump right in and do it.

coopah 11-17-2019 04:34 PM

Looks good! You've got the idea!

pocoellie 11-17-2019 04:43 PM

It looks like you're doing a great job. Thanks for sharing your progress.

You are off to a good start.

Thank you everyone. I love seeing how it is coming together.

I am late with my 2 cents. You are on your way and your quilt is going to be great. Nice colors too.

Great looking first quilt!

Ariannaquilts 11-17-2019 09:44 PM

When you say your first quilt are you talking about piecing or quilting? I'm just curious, I really like the way you staggered the blocks and your colors are spot on. Good job can't wait to see the finished quilt!

You have a cute quilt going, there... And it's great for being your first! My first wasn't nearly as straight and nice. Keep at it.

Congratulations. We all made our "first Quilt". I would guess that when you reach Quilt 4 or 5 you will be amazed how much you have "learned". Welcome to our world of creating beauty out of scraps of fabric.

Karamarie 11-18-2019 05:07 AM

You got a good start. You go girl.

SusieQOH 11-18-2019 05:21 AM

Looks good! It will be nice and cozy. My first quilt was disastrous but it didn't stop me. I was hooked!

Homespun 11-18-2019 05:24 AM

Congratulations on your quilting journey!

Reminds me of my first quilt. Love the way you offset the columns.

You've come to the right place. I'm the only person I know that quilts, so finding this quilting board has been great!
I am so unfamiliar with some terms that I have to Google them, which leads to other bits of knowledge.

Chelleinstitches 11-18-2019 06:52 AM

It is my first piecing and quilting. Thank you.

Tish05 11-18-2019 06:55 AM

Yay! for first quilt and piecing! It's looking great.

osewme 11-18-2019 07:28 AM

Your quilt is looking great. My first was similar but it was 2" squares & I alternated solid squares & print squares. I pieced & quilted it by hand (all straight stitching). I still have it but it is falling apart everywhere. I didn't know anything about 1/4" seams & that was back in the 60's when we didn't have rotary cutters. :) Your colors are great. I look forward to seeing the finished quilt.

juliasb 11-18-2019 08:14 AM

How exciting this has to be for you! It is so pretty and so colorful! First quilts are just as you said, learning. I have been quilting now for around 30 years and still learning new stuff and it keeps quilting so exciting.

Congrats on getting to finish line with your first quilt. Our first ones are fond memories for us.

It's a great start and thanks so much for sharing it -- I enjoy the feeling of the colors and movement. I hope you continue with the craft and sharing it here on the boards.
