Meanwhile, my siblings who watched me put it together and work on it have each decided they would like one too! I guess once you get started it's hard to stop the ball from rolling.

They come out of the woodwork!! Believe me you'll find out. But it's nice to know that your work is appriciated. Keep up the good work.

Oarai...I love your quilt and especially your backing fabric! I think it's rather sassy! Thanks for sharing.

Absolutely fabulous quilt! Nice colors. Are you sure this is your first quilt? love it!

Harmony 02-10-2011 08:35 AM

It's beautiful, and you SHOULD feel proud of it! None of our quilts are perfect, and every quilt you make will have something to teach you (even if it's "Never attempt this pattern again!")

janedee 02-10-2011 08:42 AM

that is brilliant for a 1st quilt - can't wait to see what you do next

such a nice quilt, especially for a first try!!!!

RhondaKay 02-10-2011 02:17 PM

Very nice... I am a beginner too and I am beginning the free motion quilting part and I am going to do the borders on my first one. I have only finished the top of my first quilt and I am waiting to go buy myself a walking foot so that I can bind it. Did you do all your own quilting?
Very nice job for your first!!!
Nice.

smiles 02-10-2011 02:19 PM

Nice work, love the colors.

Nice.

Yes ma'am I did! My machine came with several feet and said on the box it was suitable for machine quilting. I'm not entirely convinced it's going to be good for bigger projects, but it did quilt up this one like a champ! ...Okay, so maybe not a champ, but it worked out pretty well. It was a little weird at first, but once I got the hang of it it worked pretty good.

Dollysquiltingmom 02-10-2011 02:35 PM

Pretty.

KatFish 02-10-2011 09:03 PM

A good start--really pretty quilt. Everytime you make a new one, you'll learn something new. There are some great tutorials on how to bind quilts that might help you. Keep up the good work.

GABBYABBY 02-11-2011 05:48 AM

You have done an awesome job!!! You have the
right to be proud of it and to show it off. I really
like it.

stitchinwitch 02-11-2011 06:03 AM

You are doing good - but keep it clean and off the snow.
