I know it isn't as exciting as some of the other quilts I've seen around, but it's still mine. I feel the need to show it off!

It's about big enough to use as a lounging on the couch blanket, which I figure is alright for a first try. It was made from a jelly roll of some kind of batiks I don't recall the name of, unfortunately.

For the next one I'm going to have to learn how to properly do the binding.

The backing fabric doesn't match so well, so not many photos of it.

I've already got a few plans for the next ones lined up, I'm so excited!

very pretty!

I can see why you are excited - its always so much fun when you see it come together - you will be hooked like the rest of us.

I love it!! You did a great job!! Blue is my favorite color..

Very nice for a first quilt!

oh isn't that pretty!

There is always something 'special' about our 'first' quilt!

Good job!

Nice job!! you should be proud..

I think you did a great job. Good start look forward to seeing many more.

Very pretty. I've made lots and lots of quilts and am still amazed how great they turn out and amazed that I made them.
Very amazing for a first.

Haha, thanks so much, guys :3

It's still kind of a surprise to me when I look at it to think I made it, that's mine.

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.

Good job for a first quilt. You'll be hooked!!

I like it, if your town has a fair take it, it is nice

This is a wonderful 1st quilt and I am so partial to blues. Thanks for sharing.

No need for excuses or justifications - your quilt is great! I love your fabrics - you did a wonderful job!!

Lots of people begin with a rail fence design. Your quilt has the added detail and complication of being set on point. You are on your way to being addicted like the rest of us. Good job!

It's beautiful!! Congratulations on getting your first quilt done!!!

I don't know why you don't think it's exciting. I think it's very pretty and you did a great job of blending the blues. I'd say your siblings like it, too! I have three siblings and I could make an award winning quilt and they wouldn't want it. Have fun, and you'll soon be addicted just like the rest of us!

I get intimidated easily sometimes, especially after cruising around the internet seeing all the really fancy and impressive and creative things people have done with fabric I start to wonder why I ought to care about my piddly little first piece.

I have to just remember everyone started with "piddly" things to begin with, and if I am happy with it that's what's important!

I would be proud of that quilt. It's pretty.

Great job on your first quilt. You have plenty of reason to be very proud of it. Thanks for sharing,

Why, that's so nice...I'm sure it won't be your last!

Lovely quilt! Your colours are beautiful! Give yourself a pat on the back and be very proud!!!!! Yes, you have caught 'The Bug' and will soon be addicted like the rest of us!!!! We all had to start from the beginning just go with the flow now and you will soon be posting pics. of your masterpieces!!!

Great first quilt

Congratulations! You should be proud. I really like it. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Nothing like the joy of accomplishment. ;-)

Well done. Nice colours. Thanks for sharing.

I love the blues! Great job!

All quilts are exciting from the beginner to the advanced quilter...Good job.

Very nice you did a great job.

The big thing is - You made a quilt! That, in itself, is a great thing. For a first quilt it is very good. Great job.

now you're hooked, you will not be able to stop now!!! Great Job!

My first quilt has binding that isn't "proper" too ;) I still love it though and you should be very proud of yours, it's lovely :)

Beautiful colors Oarai. I love the layout. Being a new quilter myself I struggled with the binding as well. Go to

www.youtube.com

and do a search on "binding a quilt"

There are videos that will show and tell you how to
slaughter the "binding beast."


Keep on quilting!!

Doda

Love that pattern and your colors. Good job!

It is very pretty - you should be proud of your first (of many I am sure) quilt!

What a great job. No excuses needed....You should see my first quilt. No matter what,we all are proud of our first quilt and will have it to tell stories about for years and years to come.

Great job!! and I love the colors.

first of many beautiful quilts :!:

great job, much better than my first try
