Just finished piecing my first quilt in class. Next week I'll quilt it.

The instructor thought I was totally insane with my color choices, but I love it!

Sorry photo is so bad :oops: Just not tall enough even standing on a step ladder.

First quilt top completed in class

Great job!!!

Well, colorful it is!!! What are you using on the back?

Congrats!

dallasnewsgirl 11-07-2009 03:56 PM

The back is a dark green with hints of black - it almost looks like suede

chattyK 11-07-2009 03:57 PM

Pooh on the teacher! Color is subjective, and you have to love what you work with.

I think it is lovely.


SharonC 11-07-2009 04:02 PM

I think your colors work really nicely together. Great job, can't wait to see how you quilt it. :) :)

Love the colors :thumbup: To each their own I guess.... Great job

Deb G 11-07-2009 04:19 PM

Great colors. :thumbup: What does the teacher know anyway???

It's your quilt - if you like the colours, that's all that matters! Congratulations on your first pieced top!

Great job!!

renee765 11-07-2009 06:38 PM

I think your color choices are wonderful! You obviously have a different sense of taste than the instructor - run with it!

Hey I like the colors together! You did a great job!

Pzazz 11-07-2009 07:36 PM

I love the colours!!! Well done. As for your insanity? I grew up with my dad's philosophy that "you don't have to be crazy to get along in this world....but it helps". So...bring on the insanity!!!! LOL

Wow! What a great quilt. You are moving along very quickly at this.

Mousie 11-07-2009 08:33 PM

gorgeous colors, what was the instructor thinking???? :roll:

Eddie 11-07-2009 08:36 PM

I like all that color! And you did a great job for your first time out -- No, let me say you did a FANTASTIC job! Looks super!

amma 11-08-2009 12:17 AM

Well then I must be crazy too, because I love those colors!!! Wow!!!
I love it!!! Good Job!!! :D :D :D

kd124 11-08-2009 12:30 AM

Great job!! Looks to me that all those colors are in the focus fabric.

mytwopals 11-09-2009 08:18 AM

Looks great to me. I like the colors. :D

littlehud 11-09-2009 04:51 PM

Beautiful quilt. I think the colors are great. Thanks for sharing.

stitchinMamaw 11-09-2009 05:10 PM

Looks good to me . too ! Great job :thumbup: I've never taken a class , maybe that's a good thing . Annie

Marcia 11-09-2009 05:19 PM

I think you have a wonderful sense of color and your first quilt is great.

Sheila Elaine 11-09-2009 06:50 PM

Very bright & beautiful quilt.

dallasnewsgirl 11-09-2009 06:54 PM

Thanks everyone. I had a fun time piecing it and learned a LOT. I'm already looking for my next pattern to make after I get this one quilted.

hsquiltingmom 11-09-2009 08:54 PM

this is gorgeous. The colors are wonderful. I have a dd that just loves purple, and if she saw this, she would say "let's do one like that." It looks good. Can't wait to see it quilted.

CrystalKicks 11-09-2009 09:15 PM

Its beautiful!! I love the colors too!

k3n 11-10-2009 12:45 AM

Looks like the teacher is in a minority of one! I love the colours - you have the patterned main fabric then the other two which pick out colours from it - it's perfect! You have a good eye - don't let anyone tell you otherwise! :D

ranger 11-10-2009 02:37 AM

It's a great quilt. I like the color combo.

I think you did a great job on color choice. She should have pointed out that you have a focus fabric and picked colors that matched. Great Work!!!

paintedquilt 11-10-2009 06:27 AM

Great Job :!: I love your colours :thumbup:

Chele 11-10-2009 06:43 AM

What a great first quilt! I love the colors you used!

Bevanger 11-10-2009 07:14 AM

Crazy? Nahhhhhhhhhh I think the colors are neat. I really like it alot

auntiehenno 11-10-2009 07:45 PM

if you are pleased with your fabric choices, it isn't very professional of the instructor to dis them. Same thing happened to me when I was doing a sampler. One of my first quilts. She only wanted us to use 3 fabrics, and I wanted more. Quilt came out fine. NICE JOB, BY THE WAY!

mrs. fitz 11-12-2009 08:15 PM

Your colors are wonderful. One of the best things about quilting, you don't have to listen to what someone else likes, it's all about your choices. Keep going!

mimee4 11-13-2009 06:55 AM

I bet your instructor now sees how beautiful your quilt is. Great choice of fabrics. :D
