That is beautiful. Hard to believe it's your first quilt. The colors are great.

You are going to love snuggling under that quilt this winter. I love your colors. Suggestions for a Christmas Quilt - a Disappearing 9 Patch with your Charm Pack might be fun. I think you would like it as it too has a free flow design like your first one.

Congratulations and enjoy your new journey as a quilter.

It took me just over a week, I can only quilt in the evenings as I am at work all day. I am definitely hooked though. I made a cushion cover for my boss last night. It is her birthday in December so I have made her a blue one. It is a simple 9 patch with a blue border and the back part of the cushion cover is some silk I had in my fabric store, It is really effective. I am having to go very careful though as my 1/4 foot and my walking foot have not arrived yet so I am doing all of this with just the foot that is on my machine.

You did a great job with your first quilt. I love the colors and especially the border color. Keep up the good work!

Good for you. I love your colors and the pattern you chose. I hate to tell you that one quilt will lead to making many more. You just get hooked on it!
