OK, so thisis my first time posting a picture as well, so I hope it comes out ok!

This is the first quilt I have ever made, and what an adventure it has been! I am now best friends with my thread ripper!

I am very pleased with this. I appliqued and designed all the pictures myself, I am part Native American so I wanted to make something that would show how proud I am of my heritage, but living in the UK I have probably mixed up my designs something rotten! Never mind, I like it.

Also it is not as wrinkly as that picture makes it look. The picture was taken outside in the garden as we don't have enough room in the house (It's a king size, I think I was a bit too ambitious :roll: ). I had to take the photo from an upstairs window while someone held it up for me, it was too big for the grass! The wrinkles are actually shadows from the trees!

Let me know what you think! I would adore any feedback including constructive criticism, this is my first so I am happy to learn. :D

Oh my gosh - that is great. My first quilt was just squares - and not very good ones at that :)

i like it very good job keep going

Very nice! My applique skills are less to be desired, so I'm very impressed with yours.

Nice work - keep it up!

Very nice-can't even tell it is a first quilt!

Welcome, and what a great quilt. I would think you gained a great deal of confidence now. I'm afraid I have nothing to offer, since my applique skills are quite limited. But if you can tackle a project that big for your first quilt, you can do anything.

Wow! I'm very impressed for it being your first quilt. Lovely!

I'm really impressed, especially for a first quilt! You were extremely ambitious to do applique, new designs, and a huge quilt...wow! It's "brilliant", as they say in the UK.

Very nice...I like it! =)

Very nice quilt - great job for your first quilt :thumbup:

Very nice! The Native American designs you created make it a fantastic keepsake.

WOW!!! You did a super fantastic job capturing your theme and with your fabric and color selections. Your quilt is stunning! Thanks for posting and I hope you get started on your next one! Hey, how about making matching pillowcases!

For a first quilt, you did a great job! I love the colors and designs in each block. My first quilt was squares and borders, I admire your bravery.

I think it is wonderful!! Congratulations!

First quilt? How about first family heirloom! You did a great job. Can't see what you do next!

Hi and welcome from the sunny state of Florida!!
Superb job on your quilt and a king size too!! WOW!!!

Very nice!!

I really like it. I'd love to know what some of the symbols mean.

Super job.

You've given me hope that I can at least do a block quilt

Your first quilt was king sized? Gasp! I think it is wonderful. The appliqued designs are really neat. I'm working on my first quilt, but it is tiny! We have a mutual friend in the thread ripper!

Well done, great first quilt, much better than my first ever attempt!!

Love the colours too

WOW!!! You did a wonderful job on this :D:D:D
It is hard to believe it is your first!!!

Good job! It is very nice!

Very nice! My wife and I have finished 5 quilts and have numerous WIPs, but we have yet to attempt applique. Hats off to you!
