Here is a picture of my first quilt top.

Be kind LOL

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

Oh my, you picked a complicated design for your first quilt! :shock: Sure looks like you did a really good job on it. :thumbup:

Lay out the yellow along the edge and see if you will like that for a binding. It might work. Not sure about purple since I don't see any purple in the quilt. But again, lay out what you want to use next to it and see which fabric you like best.

Wow - your first quilt and you did curves? Nice Job!

very nice looks almost antique

denise d 01-07-2011 12:54 PM

Thanks everyone. I will say, I am pretty proud of myself, since I just sewed my first thing ever in November.

I used the 10 minute block tutorial for the quilt.... then modified it to put the diamonds in the middle. Funny thing is I got Susan McNeill's book and sure enough the there is the quilt that I made. Go figure, I thought I was being crafty!! :)

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

Curves for your first quilt top? You did an amazing job.

Sadiemae 01-07-2011 01:08 PM

Very nice!

Ditter43 01-07-2011 01:12 PM

I love the colors! The butterfly quilting will look great! Good job!! :thumbup: :D :thumbup:

redquilter 01-07-2011 01:26 PM

Very, very nice. You're an ambitions beginner to start with curves, but I guess from here on in, averything else will be a piece of cake!

So nice. That is the next pattern I am going to do. Hope it turns out as well as yours.

I am in the hat in my avatar. The quilt is a gift for a friend of mine in Germany. She will be having her in April. As soon as she comes, I am sure we will get a picture. :)

plainjane 01-07-2011 04:08 PM

Great job! The first of many, I hope! :)

Me too. I was too scared to do anything but squares in my first quilt :oops: . Can't wait to see it finished :thumbup:

denise d 01-07-2011 04:41 PM

Are they really considered curves... I rolled the corners in.

Coley Banicki 01-07-2011 04:48 PM

Oh yeah, I just had a closer look. It's like a cathedral window. Still a great effort for a first quilt :-D

Friendly Quilter 01-07-2011 05:29 PM

Beautiful first Quilt.

KatFish 01-07-2011 06:50 PM

Great quilt. Love your butterfly idea for the quilting.

PaperPrincess 01-07-2011 07:09 PM

I've been quilting for a while and still haven't attempted curves. You did a great job!

annieshane 01-07-2011 07:26 PM

Very Cute design. Is this that mock cathedral window pattern where you make just 3 seams? I didn't realize this is the design that evolves. I have started this, but did not like the initial format. Now, I am ready to continue this to completion. Thanks so much for sharing

QuiltingHiker 01-07-2011 07:27 PM

Very cute

ScrapQuilter 01-07-2011 09:37 PM

That 10 min block is a great pattern and I like your idea of hand quilting the butterflies.

NUTMEG10 01-08-2011 05:08 AM

What a great job. I have yet to try curves, on my to do list. Can't believe you chose this for your first. It is fabulous. You are a quilter.

dkays 01-08-2011 05:10 AM

Beautiful, I love the colors.

#1piecemaker 01-08-2011 05:15 AM

I like it. You did good!!! Keep up the good work. Would like to see it whn you get finished!!

quilt3311 01-08-2011 05:37 AM

Wow, can't wait to see your second quilt.

clsurz 01-08-2011 06:20 AM

You are a brave soul doing such a complicated one for your first. Very nice indeed. :thumbup:
