This is my first completed quilt from the material that was 'rejected' for the Christmas gift quilt. I figured I'd practice on this one, and it is completed. The 'gift' is all pieced together and waitting more $$ to purchase the material for backing and batting. The practice quilt gave me some difficulty when it came time to bind. The binding wasn't as easy as the piecing it all together and machine quilting, but turned out.

Looks great, pretty fabric and very nicely put together. Look forward to seeing more of your work.

That's a really GREAT first quilt!

Love the color!

very nice for a first quilt. =)

Nice quilt,LOVE butterflies and blue and gold.

You're no longer a "newbie" Your quilt looks great. I'm a newbie too and am about to start my quilting process. I hope I am as successful as you were. What will be your next project?

Good job for a newbie. You're learning fast

Nice Job! Binding gets easier as you get more experience.

LOve the butterflies.

It turned out really nice, but practice does make it a lot easier. I can't tell you how many bindings I have done, but now, I hardly have to think how to do it, it just comes naturally.

Very nice! I like the fabric choices...they go together so well! Keep up the great work :)

Good job Zack! It is beautiful! :D:D:D

I am curious as to why the fabric was rejected??? what a great job you did, thanks for sharing

Looks wonderful!! Congratulations on getting your first quilt done!

great job ,have you already decided what your next one will be yet LOL?

Very pretty.

Thank you everyone. These were rejects as I was just buying material I thought went together, the other material is shades of brown, tan, yellows (solid), and my wife said the blues just didn't fit in. The next project is actually all pieced together into a queen size, and it's a disappearing 9 block, with sashing in between each 9 block; the sashing is brown. I thought green, but after my wife and I put the blocks against both, I thought the brown was better as well. The new quilt top is actually better than the practice quilt, as I learned much on the practice run. I have donated it at work to be given as a Christmas gift to a female resident that does not have family to buy for her.
Thanks for the kind words, sure hope the binding gets easier fast; course the other 3 corners looked better than the first, so even this quilt was improving.
