I thought I would show you the very first quilts I've ever made.

The first one (pink) I must have started about 25 years ago and was making it to fit a waterbed we had at the time. Got rid of the bed and the quilt got put away (I don't really know why) and I dragged it out last year and finished it.

After I finished the pink one last year I then I made a lap quilt each for my hubby and me. They are both the same except where this one has orange trim and squares, the other has green.

After the lap quilts I've made a queenquilt, which I've already posted here before, and I'm now in the process of doing a crazy type quilt, which I will post when finished :)

Aren't you glad you finished that pink quilt? It is so pretty! I love the design in the lap quilt!! Great job! :D :thumbup:

Beautiful quilts

Very nice!!! Great job!

Wow what great first quilts! I really like the second one with the orange squares in the border. Something about that pattern "speaks" to me.

I would have never thought to put the orange squares in. It's beautiful. Like the pink one too!!

Love your pink!They all look great!!

The truth is, I was only planning to do the centre squares and then a border but then realised it was going to be too small and instead of making more blocks I decided to add a contrasting colour. I'm glad I did..I think it needed the lift :)

Beautiful work!

Very pretty quilt & lap quilt!!! I also like your furbaby in your Avatar!!

Glad you shared your quilts with us. Doesn't it feel good to finish them after all this time? What is your next project going to be?

It sure does feel good. I can't believe I had that pink one tucked away for all those years...lol. I'm currently working on a queen size kind of crazy quilt for our bed..in creams and beige colours. Can't wait to get it done and will post pics when it's done :)

Love both of them!! :thumbup:

I really like the Pink One! Good Job!

They are both beautiful :D:D:D

Very nice!

The pink quilt is especially pleasing to my eyes. And the other quilt with the orange border is great too. Success!!!

Beautiful!

Those are so pretty. I love that pink one. It was worth the wait. It aged well. :-D :-D Your black, white and red one is awesome. I love those colors together. Great job on all. Thanks for sharing.

WOW! Very nice!

Your first quilts are just wonderful. I am really drawn to the second one - probably the colors but they are both just fabulous!
