I'm new to this board and although I've been sewing for years, I'm new to quilting. Well my girlfriend convinced me to purchase a kit and I've been addicted ever since! There are so many mistakes in this one I won't begin to list them, but it was so busy with all the colors that I don't think anyone will notice. I'm can see I'm going to enjoy these boards! You all do such great work!!!

Well, I think its just beautiful. Love the jewel colours and welcome...this site is just great...lots of really lovely people and quilts!

Mason,
Welcome to the board. I love your quilt... I like brights :D Like you I've sewn for years but I'm just getting into quilting... I like quilting much better...If you goof on a quilt...it doesn't really matter :D

You quilt is beautiful! I love working with bright, lively colors! Welcome to the board, you are going to learn so much...be sure and check out all the tutorials (and swaps, if you're feeling brave!) As for mistakes, I don't see any! Great work!

I love the colors and it's a cool pattern, too. Good job! I think you're officially hooked!

Welcome aboard! Thanks for sharing.

Hi and welcome from Ohio.

Mason, The colors of your quilt are wonderful. You did a great job. Did you have a pattern? If so, what is the name I love it. :lol:

Welcome to the board ! You are going to love it here :lol:
Your quilt is GREAT :thumbup: I don't see any mistakes

Welcome to the board from Southern California. Your quilt is beautiful. We have several really talented men here on board!!

Love it! Welcome!

Thank you guys! And I gotta laugh - sorry, I'm a female! Mason was my beloved dog and I use his name on message boards in his honor. Real name's Allison. . . So yes, the colors are what got me started - I'm not a fan of the country look so common to most quilts, I'm looking for some more contemporary modern designs. That's why this one caught my eye. Believe it or not, can't find the pattern - but it was 6 1/2 by 2 1/2" rectangles, 2 from each pattern then a 6 1/2 by 1 1/2" for the center strips. Take 2 of the same and insert a thinner strip in between, then offset the rows (the thinner center strips are supposed to zig zag but mine don't - that was one of the major mistakes!) But I'm improving - I'll put up my next one when I'm done with it!

LOL! I thought you were a guy, too. Funny.

I am a fan of a more contemporary quilt, also, although I like vintagey stuff, too. Do you follow any of the modern quilting blogs? There are some with really cool inspirational quilts on them.

I like it and you're right, I don't see any mistakes!

can you point me to them? I've been looking up alot of stuff, but most of what you see is very country. My husband joked that soon I'll start putting up chickens in the kitchen! Sorry, but we really dislike the country look. . but love the modern look!

I like that! I really want to make one like that now, lol!

Welcome to the board, mason :) I am hard pressed to see a mistake in this quilt! You did a fantastic job as far as I can see. I look forward to seeing some more of your work!

Your quilt is a real beauty. I love how colorful it is and I think your border and binding are the perfect colors.

If there are mistakes, you are the only one that knows that. Anyone looking at your quilt will only see how pretty it is.

Welcome Mason! Great job!!
