my first attempts
 
3 Attachment(s)
Here are my first attempts, the first was a queen size quilt, nobody told me to start small, I think now that I could have used the colours better.

Mu second was a kit -fancy that from dog house designs my hubby bought me when we visited St Augustine, FL. which is white and blue, the blue is nice fabric with silver embossing.

My third is a quilt for my eldest son Greg, its a king size and I use the same fancy that pattern but I bought good quality egyptian cotton bedding and used it for this. I'm off shopping today for fabric for my next project.

First, welcome from Texas and second, those are great quilts.

Very nice all of them. Big projects for your first one and you finished them all. I really like the fabric you used in the second one. Amazing how a pattern can look different with the use of different fabrics.

Welcome from Spanaway Washington. Great first quilts. My favorite is the last one.

Welcome from Ohio, I think they look great. Why start small when you can accomplishment what you did. Looking forward to seeing what's next.

Good works! I love the way the colors blend so well in the first quilt - quietly comforting - excellent!

Welcome from New York. All 3 quilts are beautiful! I especially like #2, fabric design adds so much interest!

Very impressive. They are all just wonderful and I love them all. You seem to have a wonderful eye for color combinations. You certainly were brave to tackle such large projects and it worked.

Annz 09-02-2013 08:16 AM

Oh I think the fabric is unique and stunning. Great job.

Beautiful quilts! And I love the first one! Sometimes when things blend together it's calming to me and I'm sure whoever gets that quilt is going to think it's beautiful! Great job... keep posting!

Welcome from NY. All three are really great. If you're going to do something - go all the way!

nanibi 09-02-2013 04:19 PM

I very much especially like the first one--think your use of color/pattern worked out very well. It's subtle.

nunnyJo 09-02-2013 04:20 PM

Debbie B 09-02-2013 04:38 PM

Very pretty quilts. I especially like #3 and the colors you used.

Welcome to QB! I'm sure you'll love it here. For someone new to patchwork and quilting, you have done really well! Beautiful! My favourite is your second quilt. Love the blue fabric. But love all your quilts, they are all so nice!

Welcome from St. Louis, MO.
Beautiful quilts. You are a natural born quilter.

Welcome! The quilts are all nicely done and I like the colors. You've got a great beginning. Enjoy the journey! :-) I guess I need to check out St. Augustine quilt shops!

Welcome from Mid-Michigan. Great quilts for first attempts, you're off to a wonderful start!

fmmcbride 09-03-2013 03:43 AM

Welcome from Jacksonville, FL! I've been to Magrieta's Quilt Shop and have bought the pattern for the second quilt. I love the one she has in her shop and plan to make it soon. Hope you enjoyed your trip here, St. Augustine had a lot of neat places to go.

Iraxy 09-03-2013 05:46 AM

Hello, and warm welcome from Southern Oregon. I love the two quilts made with the same pattern. So neat how the same pattern is so different depending on the choice of fabric. Enjoy your new hobby. Looks like you jumped in with both feet!
