I started this afternoon, so far I've spent about 4 hours on this including cutting all the squares out.


ETA:

This is what it looks like now, after a couple more hours of work.

How pretty and great work! And your socks match too :):):)

I love it! I believe the pattern is called "Trip Around The World." It's a classic. Your color selection is gorgeous. Keep going!

Welcome to our quilting family. I love the colors you picked. Can't wait to see the completed quilt. :D :D

Salut from Newfoundland!!!

Tres tres bien!!

yes that is the Trip Around the World.. I am teaching that course at the end of March for 6 weeks. Its a great quilt for beginners! :)

It looks great... Excellent job...

Looks great! Are you hooked?

Looks nice! Your first quilt is an excellent choice.

Love the colors, great job!

Love the bright colors! They match your socks :) :) ! I love the trip around the world design. I'm vascilating between that and a bargello for my next baby quilt. Don't need it until July, so have a little time to debate with myself. I'm leaning toward trip, though.

Ya, I love bright colours.
I'm already addicted

Four hours!?! I remember making one of these for my daughter when I first started to quilt. Back then rotary cutters were just coming out and I had never heard of them so I cut each square out with scissors, drawn with a cardboard template. It took me forever! Four hours!?! It's amazing how far we've come!

Your quilt looks beautiful and will definitely brighten up whatever wall or bed you put that on. Great job!

Beautiful colors! Are you going to quilt it or tie it?

Gonna try quilting it.

There's a really cool free hand pattern that I saw, it's with thread that changes colour throughout the spool... like green to red to blue to pink... you know what I mean. I want to put a pretty wide black border around it and sort of go off the little squares onto the border, the design and coloured thread should show up really well on the black border, if not so much on the rest.

Going to have to practice that first though, lol.

Very Pretty!!! Some day I'm going to have to try that pattern!! Great job so far!

OOOOOOOOO THAT looks just BEAUTIFUL!!!! Great first quilt!

YEA!!! She's hooked!!! Welcome, welcome, welcome! You're quilt is coming along beautifully! Great color choices, and yep, I went back and looked, it really does match your socks!!!

wowwww..this is going to be gorgeous.....very nice work.... :D
