It survived the washer and dryer too! I also learned that the spray adhesive I bought...was not water soluble and not in fact, *basting* spray. It worked, and my machine is no worse for wear, but washing didn't get rid of it and though the quilt isn't ruined, I am now pulling it apart between my quilting to un-adhere it. Lesson learned.

Barbara, thank you again, for the suggestion on the binding. I love it!

Without further ado, I present my first ever quilt. I call it "Lesson Learned", as I learned quite a few lessons in the process. :)

Congratulations! I love the colors.

It's beautiful. You should be proud, tired but proud LOL!

Beautiful quilt. We are learning all the time.

WOW!!!! GREAT JOB!!!! I haven't completed my first quilt yet. I have the top done but haven't quilted it, etc. I'm too nervous...LOL. I will be thrilled if mine comes out half as nice as yours. It's PERFECT :)

Congratulations on a beautiful quilt! What's next?

It looks good, your colors work well together.
I made a Card Tricks quilt and being a new quilter, I pieced the blocks badly and lots of the points were missing.
I named it "The Pointless Card Game" lol

Great job and beautiful result. Love the colors too.

HAH! Love that name!

I'm going to start a quilt for my mother in law for Christmas. I need to get on it soon, though, because we're celebrating Christmas early this year, as that is when my father in law will be home on his R&R from Afghanistan. I can't decide on a pattern though! I have a million ideas going through my head! haha

You did a great job. Very nice quilt.

Congratulations! you did a great job.

Congratulations and job well done!

You did very well. nice color placement and great seam matching!!

Well done, great colurs and a great job. You should be proud of yourself

APPLAUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

very nicely done !!

Thanks for sharing your quilt and experience - I haven't used basting spray, so I learned something new as well - read the label first eh :? You gave yourself a lot of work but hopefully your patience will pay off.

lol Yes, read very carefully. If it doesn't say "basting spray" on it...RUN! I was able to un-stick everything...thankfully I didn't do super tight quilting. I must say though, "basting spray" or just plain old craft spray adhesive, it was much easier to sew together without my layers shifting. :D

Yeah !!!! Congratulated, great job too. Love your colors.

Nice job!

A D9P (disappearing 9 patch) is really easy and looks complicated :)

You did a great job on this one!!

I love the colors, my sister just had those colors for her wedding theme

Congratulations on getting your first quilt done!

Very nice job on your first quilt.

For your first quilt, I think you did an A-one job. Plus, you learned lots of things. Look forward to seeing your next project.

Thanks for the idea! I looked up a pattern, found a layout I like and picked out colours and calculated yardage too! D9P it is!! I can't wait to go shopping. :D

Congrats on a nice quilt, and lessons learned! :)

Yea!! You'll have fun doing the D9P!! I did ! Don't forget to show us when you're done with it :)

Very pretty.

Terrific job, and a beautiful quilt. I really love the colors.

What a nice quilt you have made! Love your colors you should be very proud of this quilt!

It's a great quilt. Nice colors, nice job, good binding.

Look at how nice everything lines up! Good job! I'm also impressed with your mitered corners (I've been quilting for seven years and still can't).

that is so pretty that is for a full size bed? how long did it take you to make.I just love it.

Congratulations on a quilt well done. I will always remember my first quilt.

No, it's a throw/lap quilt. Its 50"x70". Took me about three weeks, start to finish. If I'd been able to work uninterrupted, it would have taken me a few days, to a week, is my guess. But you know...kids and hubby need some attention...lol and food.

Thank you everyone!! It is so encouraging to hear/read all of these nice things! lol I can't wait to get started on my next one!

Beautiful!!

Very nice!
