I did it! I did it! I'm almost embarrassed to post my first quilt. I've been look around the forum and all of your work is soooo beautiful and perfect. This is my very first attempt, and I look forward to getting much more practice.
Don't look too close--you'll see all of my errors. :oops:

I looked close and don't see a one! Congratulations to YOU for a job well done! Cute pattern and color choices.

Quilting is just a lot of practice! Enjoy

errors-schmerrors. Big deal, nothing is perfect, you're trying that's all that matters. I think its cute, and it will keep someone warm, and make them very happy.

KathyAire 07-11-2010 05:31 PM

You did a great job. I love it.

raptureready 07-11-2010 05:31 PM

With all the quilt patterns that there are out there no one has ever come up with anything that looks more snuggly, warm and "homey" than a 9 patch. Good job, keep going.
Don't look too closely at anyone else's either.


If you ever run into anyone that tells you that they can or have made a perfect quilt, STAY AWAY FROM THEM.
If they'll lie about their quilting, they'll lie about anything.


Practice makes all of us better but it will never make us perfect.

Very nice - I love it!

crossginny 07-11-2010 05:35 PM

grammyp 07-11-2010 06:00 PM

I don't see any errors. It looks like a very comfy, cuddly quilt to me.

littlelemon 07-11-2010 06:02 PM

Great job Adalia! Who will be the lucky recipient of that quilt?

happy sewer 07-11-2010 06:03 PM

Why are we so critical of our own work?

sharon b 07-11-2010 06:07 PM

Looks good to me :thumbup: Keep up the great work :mrgreen:

Marlys 07-11-2010 06:16 PM

I think it's awesome! Please keep quilting & posting pictures. You are doing great!

MaMaKithkin 07-11-2010 06:19 PM

It looks so warm and comfy!

isnthatodd 07-11-2010 06:21 PM

All I see is a very pretty quilt :thumbup:

jackkip 07-11-2010 06:27 PM

You did a great job. There is no way I would post a pic of my first quilt. Besides you have to remember we are most critical of our own work, so don't be so hard on yourself. Keep up the good work and can't wait to see number 2.

LeeAnn 07-11-2010 06:28 PM

I'm sending you a great big pat on the back! Very good and never be ashamed to show your work. Keep up the good work. Your skills will improve with every quilt you make. Remember, we all had a first quilt. Very good job.

FranW 07-11-2010 06:33 PM

Beautiful quilt - isn't it a great feeling to make/give a "hug" for/to someone else? Bet you have already started your next one!

tweetee 07-11-2010 06:41 PM

Well, done, very good first one made, I wish my first one was that good! lol

justme 07-11-2010 06:42 PM

Awesome job... looking forward to seeing more from you

nursie76 07-11-2010 06:43 PM

I think that is a very nice quilt, first one or not. Keep up the good work, you are off to a great start!

Welcome from North Central PA.

Ramona Byrd 07-11-2010 06:45 PM

If this is your first one, then you've hit the road running!!

GO girl, and keep on quilting. You've started a life long
hobby that will stay with you all your life.

I like your choice of colors, they go together very well.
Whoever gets your quilt will cherish it.

wvdek 07-11-2010 06:46 PM

Well done, it looks great. You can be very pleased with yourself.

walen 07-11-2010 06:47 PM

You have done a super job! Congratulations, you should be very proud!

LeslieSkelly 07-11-2010 07:04 PM

Great job! Thanks for posting.

earlylace 07-11-2010 07:09 PM

Beautiful 9 patch, did you remember to sign it and date it?

kwhite 07-11-2010 07:13 PM

None of us started out any differently then you did. Great job.

quilting4five 07-11-2010 07:19 PM

It's adorable! You should be proud -- show us more!

**I'm a new quilter too -- and tend to be too demanding/critical of myself; however, I'm realizing quickly that it's the affection and the effort that I put into a project that makes quilting satisfying, not perfection (not attainable anyway, IMHO!) :-)
