My first quilt, disappearing nine patch
 

Here is my first attempt at a quilt it is a disappearing nine patch and I used some misc. material that I got at a yard sale, I have not quite finished it yet I want to put another boarder around it all, I quess I really bit off a big quilt to have as a first! I am not to sure how to quilt it any suggestions for a first timer?Picture URL BB Code

Hi Patti your quilt is great and a first wow great job!

Great Job for your first! Actually, an AWESOME JOB!! I suggest maybe quilting swirls or loops.

Wow that looks great.

I love your D9P. It's one of my favorite to do. Well... I've only done two and you did a great job!

Terrific....great colours.

great job and the colors are great together

nicely done, no quilting suggestions

Nice. That pattern is on my "to do" list.

GREAT first quilt....I see many more in your future!!!!

Very nice!

That is one beautiful quilt!

very nice quilt...
congratulations

Great job, I love doing this one for baby quilts..

I teach all of my newbies the D9P as their 1st quilt and yours is one of the nicest. As far as quilting is concerned if you want to do FMQ try just a wavy straight line along some seams, if not just use a zig-zag or other fancy stitch. I do not recommend SID (Stitch in the ditch) for newbies as it is hell keeping the stitch in the ditch!

If this is an attempt I am waiting for the real thing because it is going to be awesome

Beautiful.

Great job!!! Your quilt is beautiful. I seem to favor echo quilting. I think that's what I'd do. It will make you individual blocks pop!

Beautiful!! When I made my D9P, I was at a loss as to how to stitch it since I'm limited and only use SITD and cross-hatching. Couldn't decide, so I tried cross-hatching and it worked.

Very nice quilt! :thumbup:
My 1st quilt was similar and I did a cross hatching stitch. It was easier than I thought it would be.

Beautiful, you look like a natural talented quilter. I made one and just did a large stipple. That is how I usually quilt all my quilts. I love the look and I doing it.

What a great quilt to do for your first one, and you certainly have done a terrific job! Keep up the good work!

Beautiful quilt; great job. Love the d9p pattern and have done a few; one of my favorites. Great colors too.
No suggestions on the quilting; I only do loops and meandering so I am pretty satisfied with those. It will
look great no matter.

Congrats on your first quilt--it's going to be lovely. Donna

thank you I was kinda thinking the same thing I do have a walking foot ( never have tried to use it yet) I think I will practice on something else first.

I will have to look that up what is echo quilting?

Nice quilt. Love the colors. For a first quilt you might want to do just a simple cross hatch. Too much time and difficulty may crush your love of quilting. Maybe you are up to the challenge of free motion. I just cannot get the hang of it and admire those that do such a beautiful job of it. Good luck either way.

What a great job you did! Since its your first quilt, I doubt you know how to FMQ, so I'd tie it (be sure and tie close together following the instructions from the batting and learn how to do a square knot by googling it) or stitch in the ditch. Can't wait to see what you do next!

Holy Moley! It's quite wonderful for a first quilt! Good for you!

You've done a terrific job on your first project! :)

good job...

Your first quilt is lovely! Great job. A simple meandering quilting would be nice on this busy quilt.

Your first quilt came out great ! I can't believe it was just yard sale finds....I have seen some where they bought the materials to go together and it did not look this nice!

You did a lovely job. I really like the colors.

Beautiful job!!!!

Your quilt is absolutely beautiful, great job!

excellent job!

I like it. Good job.

Beautiful! Great job!
