Here's a picture of my first-ever party mix quilt. I'm so excited, as this was made for my daughter, who will be graduating from medical school in June. The turned corner is the backing with the doctor's tools on white.

I thank the QB members who answered me a few months ago about whether or not I could pull this off. Everyone said of course, and so I went for it! There are a few bloops, but the love that went into it will make up for it. My next project is a log cabin quilt and back to classes at my LQS for that. T

She will love it, it looks beautiful.:)

Everyone makes bloops, if you don't mention them, they won't be noticed. I think she'll be very happy with it.

What a special gift. You did a really great job and you should feel very proud, both of your daughter and the quilt you made for her.

Beautiful first quilt! I love the theme, and the colors! A very nice gift for a wonderful graduation! You should be proud of both!

I love your quilt. That top is wonderful and that backing fabric is awesome. Great job and thanks for sharing.

wow!...excellent job...lovely fabric...

Dragonfly Nana 04-28-2011 03:04 PM

Well done! Can't wait to see your next one.

apronlady 04-28-2011 03:06 PM

THANK YOU ALL for your wonderfully kind comments! I'm suspecting my daughter will love it. I am so proud of her and all of her hard work. She earned herself a residency in urology (who'd figure on that field!) and she'll start working about 14 hours a day after graduation in June. So her work continues! It sure was easier for me to make a quilt than just thinking about her work! Youth is on her side though. On the burner is a wedding ring quilt for my son's wedding next year. Thank goodness there's time to learn the kinks involved in making those round rings!

Maia B 04-28-2011 03:09 PM

It's great!
