Super job!

awesome quilt especially if it is your first!!!!

Stunning. The Seminole is beautiful. I think I would put a narrow white border, then the Seminole then a black border.

I LOVE your quilt! As for hand vs. machine quilting, it's a toss-up and depends on what YOU want to do. If it were my quilt, it would be on my long-arm right now. I hand quilted for a couple of years when I first started, and enjoyed it, but now find I don't have the time to do it that way unless it's an heirloom quilt.

Beautiful quilt and I love the border!

Awesome. Great choice for a border.

Thank you again everyone. I sure feel encouraged! The first pic I send will be here!

You're a natural, what a beautiful dramatic piece of art, I love your zigzag borders - adds interest. For your first quilt that is pretty amazing, great job, and stunningly beautiful.

Very attractive!

Great job!!!
