What a lovely design. Well done. It will be super when finished.

It is.... I found the 10 minute block tutorial here and on the internet. I was bored with the original 6 "windows/diamonds" so I made 2 extra in the center.

I think it will be nice. I am hoping that Baby Girl likes it. I am sure her Mamma will love it.

Apparently, whatever I do is going to be the inspiration for the nursery. No pressure there!!! :-D :D

Thanks again everyone.

I really appreciate the compliments! It is definitely a great form of encouragement and makes me want to start another one.... soon! LOL

The quilting will be a challenge, but it will be done with love and that is all that matters!!! (At least that is what I keep telling myself!!)

sisLH 01-08-2011 07:18 AM

I too would choose the yellow to bind. Can't wait to see your butterflies added.

SharonAnne 01-08-2011 07:28 AM

I've been at quilting since around Feb, 2010 and I've not attempted curves yet. Good job!!! Can't wait to see top #2!!

G'ma Kay 01-08-2011 08:10 AM

mrsddh97 01-08-2011 06:27 PM

Good job. When I look at my first quilt I say to myself what was I thinking. The color combination is questionable, was my eyes closed. Again good job.

ladyshuffler 01-08-2011 06:34 PM

Very nice!!

JUNEC 01-08-2011 08:05 PM

It's cute! A butterfly will look just right on it. Nice job.

rona thickpenny 01-09-2011 01:07 AM

butterflys will set it off a treat .

shopaholic97 01-09-2011 06:40 AM

You did a great job! I would never have picked that pattern for my first quilt

kajaza 01-09-2011 07:03 AM

Great Job!!

FQ Stash Queen 01-09-2011 07:16 AM

Like most of us quilters who get excited with out first project, you picked a doozy. Complicated pattern that you did a great job with. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with next. You are going a fabulous job (especially since it has circles!!I)

In Jesus' name, Cherie

Tweety2911 01-09-2011 11:33 AM

Congrats on your first quilt and I am impressed that you stared with curves. Great job!

CGail 01-09-2011 06:25 PM

Cute baby quilt. It looks complicated for a first quilt - Cynthia

Anne P 01-09-2011 08:15 PM

Very well done! Love the colors.

milikaa1 01-12-2011 10:28 PM

That is very nice and cheerful, what a lucky baby to receive this.

I am going to hand quilt a butterfly in the pink and green squares. Thinking of backing in purple and binding in purple. We shall see.

At least I have until April. I will probably need it.

Thanks for looking


Is that pattern the ten min block one?

omak 01-21-2011 07:29 PM

curved piecing!?!
nothing like starting out on a challenge and relaxing back to something simple, oh, say, within the next twenty quilts or so??? LOL
You are starting so high on the achievement scale, I have to applaud your focus and ability. Good job!<wave>

BluegrassGurl 01-21-2011 07:32 PM

Congratulations! You are very brave to attempt curves on your first quilt! It looks great.

In the yellow portions of the quilt it has lavender/purple and blue/green butterflies and dragon flies.

That is nice .The ten min block has a diamond in the middle, it just doesn't have the curved edges. I am not ready to attempt curves yet LOL
