I have never quilted before, so I subscribed to Quilter's World Magazine online and low and behold, I was offered all these beautiful patterns from past issues. I found the "Angie's Star" by Jill Reber in the June, 2006 issue and decided to try it. It said Beginner, so I knew I was in! I had a blast doing my first quilt. The entire quilt is machine stitched. Just in time to celebrate the 4th of July! Thanks for looking.

Wow! Terrific first quilt! Congrats on a job well done! :)

I love your quilt. The fabric selection is wonderful.

Wonderful quilt. Good job.

Not many first time quilters would even attempt triangles. Good for you!

Beginner yes, but experienced beginner. You did wonderfully And your next quilt will be faster and easier since you have learned so many things with this one. It looks just gorgeous. You did great fabric choices

Beautiful :thumbup: ~

Very pretty:)

You guys bring tears to my eyes. Honestly, I am an experienced sewer, but have never attempted a quilt. Your comments are so sweet. I am happy to have found this board since all of you are so encouraging, it makes me want to explore more. I am working on a table runner now and will post when I am finished. Thanks again for viewing my quilt.

That is very nice! You did great!

Wow! Your FIRST quilt?! Amazing. It is wonderful. you did an excellent job of putting fabrics together. Very impressive. You can say you are now a fabric artist.

Beautiful---you've got the touch!

(Addictive, isn't it? :mrgreen: )

Wow! You did great! Can't wait to see more.

Wow, that is a fantastic quilt. Love your fabric choices and I really love that pattern. Super Job!!!

Great job :thumbup:

Very pretty.

Very impressive for a first time quilt! Love the fabrics you chose.

oh, and thank you for mentioning your online subscription to Quilt World. I love that you get all 5 years of back issues with sign-up.

I wish I could take all the credit for fabric choices, but I tried to match as closely as possible the fabic that the original was made with. Although none was the same fabric, each choice was close to the original photo of the pattern. I will say, it taught me how to select the right fabric. This too is a learning experience and yes - it is addictive. I was always careful not to buy too much fabric when I was sewing all of my clothes, but quilting is a whole different animal! Now I know what a stash is, and I am liking it.

Great job! You are on your way to bigger quilts.

You did an awesome job on your first quilt. I look forward to seeing more of your work.

Your quilt is really a winner, especially for your first quilt. :thumbup:

I'm at the mouse-house, wrangling with my dial up and pictures load so slowly, but at first peek of your quilt, I was already going, "Wow!"
