Hi everyone

I finally got to sit down this afternoon and I sewed my strips together which there is 3 strips altogether for my block. I took a picture of my very first Sewed Quilt Block. I am making my very first Scrappy Quilt. This is Block #1.

I am going to work on Block #2 tomorrow and get that put together. When I get that one put together than I will take a picture of that one as well.

I am having a total of 4 blocks altogether for my Scrappy Quilt. I like to keep it small since I am learning and I don't want it too big.

You are doing a great job so far!!

Thank you

VERY GOOD!!! It looks like all your corners match up perfectly! :) Keep going and start slow. I got "stuck" becuase I had a big project I got board with. Now I just make blocks and see what happens. Maybe one day it will turn into something - maybe it won't, but I had fun. That is the whole point :)

Keep it up.

Great first block. That is a really nice block for beginners and for very fast quilts, i love it.

Very nice start to your blocks..Now I wished mine started out so well..Your doing a great job, I've found one of the easiest patterns ever..If you like I can get it too you as soon as I figure out how to get the scanner to work lol..

Great job so far!

All your corners match - that is a great beginning! Will you make it into a wall-hanging?

Good start! I suggest you get in the habit of pressing as you go...It helps keep things straight when sewing rows and blocks together... :D

Thank you so very much for all of the lovely comments about my first block. I forgot to mention to you that I even took it to the lqs and the lady that is part owner of the shop told me that I did really good considering it is my first time. I was so happy to hear that.

I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it after I get it all put together. I am going to keep it since this will be my first one.

Oh and when I went to the LQS I bought Quilting Needles - Size 10 - and a spool of white cotton thread.

Yeahhhhhhh Your doing awesome. Keep it up :thumbup:

Great job! Looks like the start of a long and happy quilting career.

It's beautiful!! :thumbup: I am so excited to see more progress, as you get further along. You will have a wonderful quilt!! :D Congratulations on your first block. It's a WINNER!!
:D :D :D :D

way to go, looks great

Great first block! Be sure to press your seams and press your block!

What LQS do you visit? I also live in Indiana.

Great job!!

Your seams match; you are doing great. Keep it up. I suggest you press as you go. Happy quilting!

Keep up the good work! The seams look great! Please post more pics as you go! :)

Looks great!!!

Thank you all so very much for all of your lovely comments about my first Quilt Block. I even surprised myself how good it turned out.

I will be posting more pictures as I work on my Scrappy Quilt.

Great job, the nine patch is what I began with, there are so many wonderful combinaions of putting this pattern together and they all make super quilts, it is one of my favourite blocks even though it is not a difficult one to do you can get some great effects with it!

yep that is so true.

You're off to a great start!! Your seams match great and love those fabrics! They look well together. You won't be able stop once you start; you'll look forward to making more and different blocks. Keep up the good work!! :thumbup:

Thank you so very much.

You are off to a great start. Keep it up. Linda

Great block. Let us see #2 when it's done.

great job girl. Keep up the good work. Before you know it you will have as many UFO'S as I do. Not that you should strive to achieve that. I just got addicted that's all.

Thank you all so very much for all of your lovely comments about my First Block. When I start putting Block #2 together than I will post pictures.

That is beautiful. You did a great job. I love your fabrics. Keep us posted as you do more.

I sure will

Great job on your first block, you'll love doing scrappy quilts! I can't wait to see the progress pics of the next blocks!

That is GREAT!!! I bet some of us experienced people wouldn't be so happy about our very first block!!

Keep up the good work, it's a wonderfully creative outlet.
