Holy cow! This is your first quilt! I've been piecing for 10 years and haven't tackled anything like that before. Your piecing is stunning. Your color choices are absolutely fantastic. She is going to love it. What a wonderful labor of love to finish that quilt for her. If I were you, I'd put it in a show or something. It's amazing! I love it.

First quilt
 

You are doing an awesome job .What is the name of the pattern and where did you get it ? Is it paper pieced?

Stunning! It doesn't look like you need any help. Your sister is one lucky woman!

I've been quilting for a couple decades now, and I haven't done anything like this. You are doing a wonderful job! It's a real labor of love and your sister will certainly appreciate it.

Now just beware that others will want quilts also.

Very pretty....

WOW! WOW! That is so gorgeous. If she doesn't like it, send it my way. You are doing a super job. And it's your 1st. You are very talented. Can't wait to see finished picture.

I definitely agree with others, this is not for a beginning quilter.....truly amazing so far! As my Granny would say, quilting comes naturally to you. You just didn't know it! Please keep us posted!

WOW - Just beautiful, great job and thank you for sharing. Your a natural

I started that same pattern last year and I have gave up on it-it drives me crazy. Yours is going to be beautiful. May I ask are you having trouble with your y-seams? I can't get my pieces to go together right. The one I am working on Medallion Starburst
