This is really pretty. Love the colors and the pattern you chose. It all goes so nicely together. I bet your niece really likes this!

I found some of her old handkerchiefs and decided to use them in a quilt (I had done much of ANY sewing....mostly repair work by hand)
But thought I would give it a try and just jumped in. Here's the finished quilt.
I just called it M.O.M. (Memories of Mom)

Wow, what a special quilt! You did a beautiful job on it!

Holy Moly!
That's your first quilt?!?!?!
Hand- or machine- pieced?
It's really beautiful. Perfect points. The colors, the setting, the cornerstones.

Fabulous!

Ditto!!!

Whoa! First quilt??? It's amazing! :shock:

I love your garden quilt. Makes me want a nap in the sunshine.

Here is the first major quilt that I started in 5th grade. Ah...way back in the 1960's. My mother showed me how to cut newspaper squares and lay the pieces on and sew them. The black pieces were some of her mother's dress pieces. My grandmother was a widow since my mother was 14. The black did not hold up well so I have been appliqueing black on top. The materials were leftover dress pieces from many of my sister's and my dresses. I finished the project after High School.

My first top, a mystery quilt. It's not finished -- some of the seams are probably 1/16"!

WOW! Your first quilt is awesome. Most of us started with a simple repeated pattern. Very nicely done!
