I made this for a very unique friend of mine. She loves tie dye. My mom helped me, we didn't have a pattern, we just winged it. When we were buying the fabric my mom was thinking "oh my, I don't know how this is going to look. But we both ended up very happy with it. I did all the work myself with my mom instructing, except we sewed on the binding together.

I love it. You chose some beautiful, vibrant colors and they look so good together.

So, what's next? :lol:

My mom worried that if she put it on her bed that it would keep her awake at night! LOL. But right now I have a pink, yellow and blue rail fence quilt loaded in my long arm. I'm a little bit afraid to start sewing...

Home run for your first quilt!!! Beautiful and bright- and the bonus of working with your mom is priceless. Now we are all excited to see what wonderful creation will be your 2nd quilt. :):):)

Since I made this, I temporarily drifed in a different direction. I made my granddaughter a flanel nightgown with lace and ruffles. She's three and she calls it her "lady." She was a little on the tomboy side until I gave her that, now she's a princess. So I have been sewing pj's for her. But I think she has enough, so back to quilting.

My second quilt isn't near as fun looking as the first. It's more baby colors. But I think my little GD Lorah Poo will like it for cuddling up on the couch to watch movies.

Pretty! The textures and colors really light up!

Very nicely done! Pretty!

I love the bright colors...and purple is my favorite of all! Nice job and lucky friend!

Love the colors! Nice and bright!

Great first quilt! Love the colors, your friend should be very happy with that.

Brilliant, stunning, I love it! :D

I love this forum. Thank you all for the compliments.

One of my other passions is cooking. On the cooking forum I go on (only occasionally now) I can post something and nobody ever replies to it.

Here, I love going into the "pictures" and seeing what everyone has done, and looking to see if I would know how to do it. And I'm always amazed at the beautiful colors people pick. I think I'm among my own here with people that are as in awe of what can be done with fabric as I am.

Thank you all again.

This is your first quilt and you are already going to work on a long arm? WOW! Your quilt is terrific.

Wow...that's sort of 70's use it to stay warm at Woodstock!! :wink: Very pretty :!: :!:

Great job! Hmmm, purple.....my favorite color!

Oh, I love it. I used to really be into tie-dyed stuff in High School, then I totally went against it when I got into the PUnK stuff....but I've grown out of my stages and like tie dyed again! LOL!

Also, I would like to do one with colors like these and add black...

Oooh, just beautiful! :)

This is your first quilt? I think it is wonderful. I love the colors you picked. You certainly captured the look and feel of tie-dyed. I'm sure your friend is going to love it. Keep up the good work!

Incredible job and I agree the colors are fantastic. Looking forward to seeing your next quilt.
