wonderful...

Good job!
The variety displayed in your two quilts shows a lot of promise for future projects.
I personally appreciate the traditional quilt blocks and remember as a child, the thing I liked best was tracing the quilting pattern formed by the thread holding all the layers together. They must have been large stipples because I would trace the "roads" over and over ...
For beginning quilting, you selected some techniques that are only done by more experienced quilters (and, I like your color choices <g>). Thank you for sharing <wave>

Thanks for your input I found it very encouraging considering it was my first try at something I thought was a big task. I have now started a wonky Log Cabin and feel so proud of myself (if I am aloud to say that). So far I am happy with the outcome as I have not done much sewing in the past. Thanks again. Chris

Based on the quilts that started this thread, I would say you have every right to say that you are proud of yourself.
You obviously enjoy doing good work and producing fine products.

Great! Thanks for sharing.

Very nice! I'm new to the whole world of quilting and only hope that one day I can complete my first quilt too!
