WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love the quilt on your profile picture!

Beautiful job. You should be proud of it. Makes me want to hide my first quilt.

What a great way to start! Love it!

THIS is your first quilt???? Wow. That's all I have to say.

You did awesome! I have always wanted to do a bargello and I absolutely love your border fabric. It goes perfectly with the rest of the quilt. You did a fantastic job and can't wait to see your next one! :-)

Only a beginer would attempt to make that quilt. I have been quilting for 40 years and I wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole. You did a beautiful job. The only problem is that now we will expect you to make a masterpiece everytime. All of my hats are off to you.

Can't believe that's your first quilt! And by that, I don't mean I really don't believe you. It is amazing! And you made the pattern and quilted it with a longarm!? You really jump in with both feet, don't you. It is a fabulous quilt and I love it! Really like that border fabric, too. Amazing job! Want to come give me lessons? :thumbup:

This one boggles my mind. It's great. I don't have time to read the whole thread, but I WILL come back to it. Congratulations on a job well (excellently) done.

It's hard to believe this is your first quilt!!!~ it is wonderful!!!
Keep up what you are doing, because you are definately doing it right!

I hope she is one Special Sister in Law! I had One Special Sister in Law, at one time she would have deserved a gift such as this.

How long did it take you to design your pattern? Did you have many take outs? It is so pretty.

I guess I can only hope to get this courage.

I can't believe it's your first! WOW

Totally and utterly awesome!!!!!! I want so to make a bargello quilt, but have never had the nerve! You rock!

Fantastic! Very well done. I can't wait to see what you make now.

Wow!

I'll bet you're a big believer in the phrase "aim high"! Your quilt is astonishing!

What a beautiful quilt I love the border fabric.

You did a fabulous job, your SIL will love it.

What a beautiful quilt.

Great job of color selection and movement within the quilt. Many experienced quilters have difficulties with what seems a natural selection to you. Keep up the great work.

Very well done !!

That is so cool. Love it.

Wow..love you border print. You did an amazing job of pulling all those colors. Beautiful!

WOW, you did a great job. !!!!!!!!!!!!

So does this mean you have your own long arm machine too? Your quilt is great, my first quilt is in my picture but I sent it out to be quilted I was not that ambitious! Great job, cant wait to see what else you do.

WOW great job never did anything like that for my first quilt and just love the border goes great with the quilt and i am impressed with the quilting wouldn't be game to do quilting first up on a long arm. Can't wait to see the next one

No, I don't own a long arm....I took a class on how to use one and then paid an hourly rental/users fee to quilt it.

Very nice!!!! If you'd not said it was your first quilt, you would have had all of thinking you've been doing it for years! Beautiful!!!

I keep coming back to look at your quilt again & again. It is so gorgeous. I'm wondering: did you work out the pattern on graph paper?

No, I didn't. This was suppose to be one of those gentle rolling bargellos. Not having had any experience, I cut strips out and this is what I got. To get the effect I really wanted, I should have used more of the wider strips. To make matters even more confusing, I sewed a couple of strips on the wrong end of the quilt! I thought I would never get it done. After this quilt, I need to try a different effect. Still pondering on which effect I want to creat next.

What a wonderful quilt :thumbup: . Hard to believe your first one, I am no where near that ability yet. I love the color selection and the movement you have created.

Can hardly wait to see what you will do next.

If this is a first....I can't wait to see the second.

Absolutely gorgeous..

:) you said this is you're first one mercy hard to belive, darn I;m jelious great jobbbbbbbbb

Love the colors. It turned out georgous. Wish I was your sister in law.

OMG! You were born to quilt!
Didn't your eyes go buggy working on this???

I love it when someone takes off the training wheels. That is amazing - particularly for a first attempt. Bargello is not one of my favorite methods but yours looks like a pixilated landscape with 2 rivers. Very pretty.

What is your day job??????

That is spectacular.....to say the least.

I am just now reading a pattern for bargello.........and wow.........

keep going and let's see your next original...
