My First Quilt
 
1 Attachment(s)
Just finished my first quilt! I know it's not great but I am so pleased that it's finished. I actually made it for a friend, but am not sure if I should give it to her - it's my first quilt so it's not great, and - It's my FIRST quilt! What does anyone think?

It's great and you did a wonderful job ~ but being your first quilt I think you should keep it!

Lady Jane 06-30-2013 04:28 PM

Looks good to me !

Diane007 06-30-2013 04:47 PM

keep your first quilt and remember to label it...

Cyn 06-30-2013 04:55 PM

Beautiful! Keep the first one! Make another one to give away :)

barny 06-30-2013 04:58 PM

Keep your first so you can look back and tell how good you are becoming. Don't give it away.

Linny 06-30-2013 04:58 PM

Your quilt is pretty...colors and quilting too!

TnBecky 06-30-2013 05:38 PM

I think you did a wonderful job. Love the colors you used. I think I would keep this on myself, not only because it is so pretty, but because it is your first quilt. Be very proud of yourself. :thumbup:

Very pretty quilt! You will have to decide if you want to keep your first quilt, I did!

Outstanding first quilt! You should keep that one and offer to make your friend a different or copy of that one.

My first quilt was made for my great nephew and was so inspired by the result I continue to make them. Do what your heart tells you to do. Your first quilt is beautiful! Did you also quilt it yourself? The flower design is lovely.

It's certainly nice enough to give away, but don't. It's your FIRST. Keep it always.

sewbeadit 06-30-2013 06:48 PM

I think it looks wonderful and you should give it to your friend! You did a great job.

Lisa Marie 06-30-2013 06:57 PM

It looks good to me, love the colors you choose.

loisf 06-30-2013 07:45 PM

I think you did a wonderful job. It's a lovely quilt - certainly good enough to gift - but you might want to keep it. My first "quilt" was a Christmas tree skirt that I kept, but my first "real" quilt went to my granddaughter. Either way, you should be very pleased with your accomplishment.

GailG 06-30-2013 07:53 PM

Great quilt! Yes, by all means, keep this one. You can make another one for your friend.

MaryStoaks 06-30-2013 07:58 PM

Very nice! You should be proud of it! I like your quilting!:thumbup:

Very pretty quilt and love the quilting. Give it away or keep it. Either way your first quilt is beautiful.

JuneBillie 06-30-2013 09:15 PM

You did a great job on your first, and very pretty quilt. It is up to you of course, but I would keep it. If you haven't already, take pictures of all your quilts. You will be glad you did.

audsgirl 06-30-2013 10:07 PM

It is wonderful. If you decide to gift it (any recipient would be grateful!) take a picture for your records. I've made many and am finally keeping one..... Do as you wish.... sometimes gifting is more fun.

QUILTNMO 07-02-2013 03:29 AM

very nice!!!!!!

IzzysGrammie 07-02-2013 05:33 AM

I totally agree with most of everyone here... label this quilt and keep it! It's a very important marker in your life.... "firsts" only come around once! Beautiful job btw....

Mariposa 07-02-2013 05:57 AM

Pretty quilt! And congrats!

omacookie 07-02-2013 06:00 AM
