My First Quilt
 

I finished my very first quilt yesterday! It's far from perfect, but I love the way it turned out. The quilt was inspired by CarsonToo on Etsy (http://www.etsy.com/transaction/35425343), and the binding was inspired by Rita at Red Pepper Quilts (http://www.redpepperquilts.com). I can't wait to make another one!

The colors are most accurate in the first picture.

That is one pretty quilt. Just love the colors an design.

fantastic quilt! great choice of colors and placement of those colors. :thumbup:

You did a great job. Would never have guessed that it was a first quilt. Keep it up.

Very nice, love those colors

You did a great job!

Great job. Sounds like you got the bug. Glad it is the quilting bug and not the flu bug that is going around.

very nicely done

Beautiful! I love your color choices and your use of solids. You must have some sewing experience if this is your first quilt. :)

first quilt
 

is there a patteren for this very lovely love it

very pretty like your binding also!!!!

Thank you, everyone! It took a long time, but I had a lot of fun making it!

Thank you! I decided to make a quilt so I could learn how to sew! Prior to making it, the only sewing experience I had was stitching semi-straight lines on paper. I read lots of tutorials, looked at tons of pictures, and watched youtube videos when I ran into trouble. :)

Really beautiful work!!!!!!

Oh it's beautiful. i will quilt mine just like yours. diamonds galore. love your back too!!

I didn't use a pattern, but I'm sure there are tons floating around out there. Maybe try looking up 60 Degree Triangle or Pyramid quilt patterns?

I just decided how big I wanted my finished quilt (49" x 63") and triangles to be, and the ladies at my local quilt boutique helped me figure out how much fabric I'd need.

Thank you, mighty!

Thank you, Texan! I drove myself crazy trying to figure out how to piece the back. I hope you share pictures of your finished quilt; I'd love to see it!

Beautiful quilt.!

I Love this!!

Hi
Yes nice happy colours

Very pretty. Did you quilt it, too?

If this is your first, we'll wait to see your 2nd. Really pretty and PERFECTLY MADE.

Thank you! Yes, I quilted it myself - I pinned it really well and rolled it up so I could maneuver it through my sewing machine.

Thank you :) I'll share my second quilt, for sure!

That is beautiful work... your triangle points are very sharp and match perfectly at the seams. Wow! Good for you.

Very cool - great quilt and great job. Keep up the good work
