My first, second and third quilts
 
4 Attachment(s)
I've spent some time perusing through pictures of everyone's quilts, and thought I would go ahead and share the first three I have finished. They are not nearly as intricate as everyone else's, or as gorgeous, but I'm still quite proud of them. :o

My first, for a friend who is having her third baby sometime in May:

My second, one of three Christmas quilts for one of my nieces, from the leftovers of the baby blanket:

And my third, a small lap quilt for us to throw over our couch, made to match our throw pillows:

I'm already working on my fourth, fifth, and sixth quilts - quickly getting the fourth done. :)

ETA: Sorry for the extra attachment...not sure how that happened.

How beautiful, very subtle and modern. Your two felines look pretty cool too.

They are my little babies, my quilt/fabric inspectors, and my #1 fans of my quilts - I can never keep them off, even on WIPs!

Hello Knitsnpearls; your quilts are very nice indeed, so clean looking and gentle colouring. Don't worry about everyone else's being different styles or different levels of intricacy; we all learn from other people but must work within our own skill levels. Some like pastels and others like bright gaudy fabrics. Welcome to the Board.

Love the quilts, ktns are icing on the cake. I have an orange tabby like one in photo.. Love them..

Beautiful quilts! I love the colors your used and the modern look of the pattern.

In my opinion, quilts don't always have to be intricate. Simple patterns can do a beautiful looking quilt! Bravo

beautiful cats by the way. I miss my two cats. They were my babies also!

sinceresissy 02-22-2015 04:37 AM

Nice job. They look so neat and crisp.

Love your quilts especially the first. The color choices are great. Wonderful quilts.

Lovely quilts!!! Great job!

KimS 02-22-2015 04:55 AM

Beautiful soft colors for a baby quilt. I'm sure your niece loved hers!! I really like the colors and pattern you chose for your throw on the couch. I think you did a fantastic job on all of them!! :) Your kitties are so pretty. I know all about the "help" they offer. LOL!! Mine was the same way and I miss him every day. He went to help the angels with their quilts March 18, 2013.

Very nice thanks for sharing

Judith1005 02-22-2015 05:17 AM

Very nice. On your first pattern, the baby quilt, I love the movement you get in the quilt with the pattern and fabrics. Adorable.

On the second quilt, I love how you re-used the fabric from the first and it looks very different with the sashing. And, also love the framed monogram. Very elegant.

And the third, already got a stamp of approval by your fur babies. But, I love how you matched up your pillows without being matchy matchy.

I'd say, all 3 are a big hit. Congrats on your finshes.

All look great!!

PaperPrincess 02-22-2015 05:21 AM

Boy, are you off to a wonderful start. The quilts are great and I love your color sense!

GingerK 02-22-2015 05:25 AM

Beautiful quilts! I think you did a great job on all of them. Can't wait to see no's 4,5 and 6. I had to take a second look at your inspectors. Many years ago, we had two with very similar colouring to yours.

QuiltnNan 02-22-2015 05:27 AM

all nicely done

Leslie333 02-22-2015 05:33 AM

All very nicely done! I like your color choices and the soft colors for the baby quilt.

Homespun 02-22-2015 06:16 AM

Your first two are very modern looking...love the colors and prints.

Quiltngolfer 02-22-2015 06:19 AM

Very pretty! You have a good eye for color.

SheriR 02-22-2015 06:48 AM

Very very nice! I like your use and re-use of your fabrics. I'll be watching for quilts 4,5&6 too!

Kathy T. 02-22-2015 07:19 AM

I love the fabrics of the first two! And Rail Fence is my favorite pattern - I just finished one also, but I didn't get any help from a kitty - My dog has to stay downstairs when I sew - lol.

grammyto2 02-22-2015 07:57 AM

all are lovely

Sneed 02-22-2015 08:01 AM

And you should be proud!! If I posted my first three there would not be anything too intricate either. But now, from the looks of these you will no doubt be moving your own bar upward and onward. There is so much to learn on the way up that bar from the importance of that 1/4" seam, to cutting to pressing that it is amazing. You've done a really good job...I'll enjoy watching to see what is next.

Annz 02-22-2015 08:41 AM

They are very soft looking. Great job on all.

zozee 02-22-2015 03:57 PM

Congratulations! That's exciting to finish your first quilt! And then you made two more, one with scraps. Good job! I like the soft, sophisticated colors and how you combined prints. Pretty kitties are doing a fine job showing off your handiwork!

PenniF 02-22-2015 04:00 PM

Wow...you have an excellent eye for color and "texture"....If these are your first - you are off to an amazing start !! Combining those geometrics definitely takes these quilts to a higher level. Kudos !!
