Saw the suggestion about posting pictures of "first" quilts. Here's mine. I called it my kaleidoscope quilt, but just because that's what it reminded me of .... didn't know there was a whole "Genre" of quilts with that name! I came up with the design myself. The solid fabrics were from a package of hand-dyed fabrics done by a local artist.

This is only about 22x30. I put flannel on the back, thinking I might use it for a baby, but I've not wanted to part with it!

What a nice quilt! It's so original, and I'm an orange fan, so I love the colors. thanks for sharing, and if that's your first, you are well started!!

Don't part with it. There is something very special to all of us with our first quilt. Its the one that gave us the... BUG. Hang it up and enjoy it for the accomplishment you achieved. IT looks like you used flannel. For a first quilt? WOW. I still don't use flannel as it moves more than I am comfortable with. Your quilting is perfect. Would you quilt my quilts for me??

emerald46 02-08-2011 05:26 AM

What a happy quilt! I am firm believer in keeping your first work of art.

rosemaynes 02-08-2011 06:58 AM

I love the colors and your quilting it together looks great too.

katlady 02-08-2011 07:19 AM

Neat quilt, love the back.

Guess I didnt know any better at the time. LOL! But, I have used flannel several times since, with no big problems. I like to use it for backing as it makes the quilt feel nice and cushy!

It would be great as a baby quilt. BUT....if you love it, then keep it. This is a beautiful and very colorful quilt. You did a great job and I love it.
