It's very cute and your mitered corners look perfect.

It's beautiful and I love the color. I hope it stays in the family so you will be able to see it used and enjoyed.

I have to say I agree. I made a lot of my first quilts for friends babies- they were made and given away immediately. I wish now I had photos of those first efforts for my quilting journal/memory book.

This quilt is a cutie - thanks for sharing and keep on having fun with it!

That's right--you think you will always remember, but I sure don't. I take pictures of each of mine and then note in the picture file name where quilt went.
Nice job. Great start.

Beautiful quilt. Great job.

I am a new quilter. I was advised to take a picture of each quilt and put in a photo album. My second quilt was for a great nephew in New York. I made sure I got a picture of him on the quilt as well to put in my album. In years to come it will be nice to have everything documented. It will also be fun to see my progress as I try new things. BTW, your first quilt is very nice. Congratulations.

This is an excellent idea!
A quilter challenged me to keep a quilt diary/scrapbook. I was taking pictures and just putting them in a book. But I got a small scrapbook and now i pit them in there with a copy of the label for the journalling. Yhat way I have a record of the quilts I have made and the recipients. Now is a great time for you to start something like this-can't get behind-like yours truly.

Isn't it exciting? The excitement of each finished quilt in the future will be so rewarding, but the first is something special. Bright cheery colors.
