Labor of Love Finished
 

Originally, I had set out to work on a lap quilt; however, the quilt suddenly became a Queen size one. LOL
As a newbie this was my second quilt ever, I bit off more than I could chew so to speak with my new found enthusiam for quilting. So a couple of weeks ago I asked this forum for help on how to manage the sandwiching of the front, batting anf the back. Your responses were tremendous- thank-you all once again. Many wanted to see it completed so here it is. BTW, I did end up using a king size 100% cotton sheet for the backing.

I also wanted to show my first quilt - a wall hanging- that I completed in December - it was an anniversay gift to my brother who got married in a church (after a snowstorm) that looked just like the one in the quilt . You can see why I said I was over my head with the second quilt. LOL

I have learned a lot in the short time I have been quilting. All in all, I am so Blessed to have found joy in quilting.

You may think that you were in over your head, but I disagree. Your first 2 quilts have turned out beautiful. Keep up the good work!!!

nicely done

They are both wonderful!! Great job!!!

The fabric with the little church in the snow is perfect. I can see you will have many years of enjoyment with quilting.

Wow! You learn very quickly. Both the wall hanging and the quilt are wonderful. You did very nice work.

Both are very nice. I love the little churches.

You're not a beginner anymore by the look of your great quilts! Keep it up.

The wallhanging is adorable and the quilt is beautiful.

The QOV is great and love your wallhanging! Good job for first quilts!
