Congratulations on your first quilt! I love the combination of colors you used.

I didn't get serious about it until I retired. My MIL started in her 60's--nice thing about quilting, it is never "too late" to start. Your quilt is neat and you've done a good job. Thanks for sharing.

I love your quilt and think that you have a great future in quilting ahead of you. I have sewed since I was 12 yrs old, but never started quilting until I was 68 yrs old. My mother also sewed all her life, but she never quilted. I guess that's why I did not get introduced to it until I saw an ad in the daily newspaper of a quild advertising for new members. I took my daughter who also sews and we went. So glad that we did. I can't believe I missed out on all of this fun all these years.

Good job,but you know we all start at some point, some sooner than later.

Great job, can't wait to see the next one. Quilting is addictive as I am sure you are finding outl.

You young people make such beautiful quilts! Yours is fabulous!

Awesome quilt! Congratulations you are a natural!!

Very nice job. Now you are hooked!

Well, you certainly found a wonderful board to hook up with. Your colors and exquisite, and your sewing seems really good. I'll bet you tend to perfectionism. ;)

Anyway, wonderful, wonderful job. It is difficult to fathom that this is your first sewing experience. I'm so glad it was positive!

Wow...great job :)

You did wonderful!!! That is an awesome first quilt, I would have never known it was your first if you hadn't said so

Terrific job! Keep up the good work. Before long, you will be writing your own instructional books.

keep up the good work looks great to me glad to have another quilter on board

Your first quilt is just beautiful. Forty is very young!! I was almost 47 when I started after my boys moved out and had a little more time to sew.

it is very lovely

You did a fantastic job for you first everything. Very pretty.

Wonderful quilt! You did a great job on it. Can't wait to see more of your quilts.

Lady you were born to quilt--welcome aboard from North Carolina....

Funny, I'm a man but not offended.

Wonderful! we all have to start somwhere - now I hope we see lots more!

You did great for a first timer, love the scrappy blocks.

That's awesome! It has such a modern look! Have you been bitten by the quilting bug? I'm thinking that's a yes. :-)

It is absolutely beautiful! Dosen't matter what age you started cause you have now been bitten by the quilt bug!

And so the quilting addiction begins.....welcome aboard. :)

Really cute! Don't feel like you're getting a late start. I retired from teaching elementary school 3 years ago, began volunteering at my church's charity quilting and became hooked. I have an art minor, but never did much with it until now. I use those skills all the time when selecting fabrics, patterns and quilts. I am in heaven when working on a quilt. Aren't you glad you discovered this??? I sure am.

Great job on your quilt!!!

I like it! Welcome to the world of quilting.

very nice!!!

Very good. Like your color choices and placement. You seem to have a good eye for composition, too. I thi nk you have a very bright and flourishing future in quilting. Looking forward to seeing your next "work of art". Keep up the good work!
Hugs

sounds like you're hooked, line and sinker! :D Great Job!

Great Job!!It is addicting, you have been forewarned…..:o

Oh wow! I'm also in my forties and just started sewing/quilting! I'm kind of on my own learning though. I'm all over the net looking at lessons, lol. What an inspiration you are to me! Thanks, that's just beautiful!

It's very pretty! And I started in my 40's too! Never too late to learn! Looks like you're gonna be a pro!

Very nice! I beleive I started quilting in my 40's. Its a good time to start because the kids are all at school.

You did a great job on your first quilt! Caution!!! Quilting is addictive!

Aha -this cannot possibly be your first. Very well done!

What pattern is this. This pattern has lots of potential. I love your colors. Great first job!

You did one TERRIFIC job!

Great job! It is beautiful

Good for you! I waited until I was in my 60's.....
