My first quilt with inspectors
1 Attachment(s)
This is my first quilt and my first picture post. I just call it my garden quilt. About a year ago,I got the idea that I wanted to make at least one quilt before I die, since I've tried every other craft over the years. I also wanted to do it all by hand. This is the result. It took about 8 months from start to finish.Now, I'm a hardcore quilt addict. I have about 6 more in progress, mostly hand sewing, a couple partly machine stitched.
I know I must be hardcore because I can't get enough stash. Especially the '30's prints. Love looking at everyone's pictures on here. Those are 2 of the inspectors. Patches, the tuxedo cat, and Sam, our spoiled, biggest fur baby. I posted a pic of him in the chit chat section. |
Absolutely beautiful!!! Great job and very nice inspectors!

great quilt!!!!!
|
Good for you. It is beautiful. Be proud of yourself. Love your inspectors.
|
Oh so pretty! Love the colors and the border -- and boy oh boy that took a lot of patience with all that hand sewing.
|
Beautiful quilt. Love your color choices. My first six quilts were all done by hand. They are still holding up well and their is a special place in my heart knowing that each and every stitch was done by hand. Love the inspectors too.

Your quilt is so beautiful! And I am awestruck by doing it by hand...I'd never have the patience. Sam and Patches are gorgeous too and Sam's pics elsewhere were precious.
|
Well did they like it?
|
Great quilt!

Love your quilt and inspectors. I think I would like your stash as my favorite fabrics are 20's and 30's! I plan to make a Grandmother's Garden by hand, but have not started it yet. I like how you set them in blocks and used sashing and cornerstones. That's a great idea.
