ah, the first time thrill of quilting :wink:
as someone else said, stripes are hard, and you did do a good job!
woo hoo, you've got it down, now keep going :D

What a great block!! You are now on your way, can't wait to see the rest of them!

looks great---you are on your way!!

woohoo! you are on your way. Great job.

Congratulations on your first - may there be many more! I live in Duncanville and pass through Terrell when I am going home to Louisiana. What is your favorite quilt shop? Lucia

Right now my favorite QS is Country Junction Quilt Store in Wills Point. It's on N 4th St just off of 80. Carol has been very helpful and I'm going to try to take some classes there as my schedule allows.

I grew up in Oak Cliff, so have spent a lot of time in Duncanville!

I had not heard of the shop in Wills Point-I will have to check it out. I have been quilting for about 13 years and find that I am constantly learning new things and improving my skills by taking classes and talking with other quilters. If there is a quilt guild in your area, that is usually a good place to have fun and share quilting ideas.

Neat fabrics!! That make a bold rich statement!! Keep going and let us see it in progress!! How exciting!!

Just finished the first of three Star/Nine Patch blocks. I cannot get the color exactly right with my camera.

The border is going to be the gold color at the end of the star, maybe with another solid dark green outside that.

I obviously have some work to do on my cutting and getting everything to line up, but this has been so much fun.

I think you have done a brilliant job...and the best thing is it has given you happiness...can't wait to see more. Happy quilting.
