It was weird. A fun weird tho. Ok if all remembers my first horror (rows didn't match up) I took it all apart except squares. Got my new machine and the quilt looked like it NEEDED squares. Not sashing. Sooooooooooo I cut out squares and sewed and all matched up perfect, Ok I'm on a roll, 2nd,3rd,4th row hrmm ok this is cool. Last row , perfect. Hrmmmmmmm lets see, border? How about this way. Het this is fun I say. Before I knew it I was done, but in a way saddened cuz it is done. LOL

My Aunt came over yesterday with ALL her sisters fabric. (My Aunt doesn't sew) Diana can no longer sew with her arthris, so I inherited 5 boxes of fabric,rulers, cutting mat, 5 rulers. Her machine went to her daughter, but she didn't want all the other stuff.(happy dance) I thought maybe I'd play with a pinwheel? I have sooooooooooo many ideas floating in my head lol

Congratulations, Bev. Great job! The quilt is lovely. I'm sure Maekala will love it.

I wanna Thank EVERYONE for all the kind comments . Ya know if it weren't for you and your incouragements, I'd have thrown away that first attempt and said poopie on it, but you all were there for me and I DID IT ..I DID IT....(a drean of mine to make quilts)with tears :cry: and a lump in my throat I thank you all.
GROUP HUG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YOUR ALL THE BEST

I never thought of that, but hey yeah, I can help now. Well with some things anyways

You did a great job!!!! It is a gift that will be treasured forever. What a sweetheart you are.

Great job Bev! The first quilt is always special. You remember your boo boos and that feeling of success the most. 5 boxes of fabric- you must have been tickled pink! Like Christmas. Let's see pics of your new stash! Welcome to the addiction!

You did a great job!!! I love your color choices!! She will love it!!

Bev it is beautiful... You have a natural talent.. My first one looked no where as nice as yours does...

i'm sorting it out now and piling on my folding tables. i'll take a pic as soon as i'm done.

You lucky girl getting all the good fabric and stuff. What a sweet Aunt! I am excited to see it. Again, your quilt is great.

You make me smile. :D Lucky you with the 5 boxes of fabric. Have fun!

This would be a good time to start a quilt diary.

Here's some pics of the stuff my Aunt brought over. I'm trying so hard to get that room straightened up. Man I didn't realize all the stuff I had LOL

Nice stuff. You'll be busy of the next year.

some is mine, but most is what i was given. it felt like xmas

I've heard of quilts "talking" to their creators, there's a few ladies here who have written of it happening, and it seems the quilts sure knew what they were talking about! (I'm just a wee bit jealous, since I've not had any such luck.)

Cheer up! With all of that lovely fabric and the stuff you inherited, you've got MORE quilts anxious to speak to you!

Love it! Great job.

Wow, you got a lot. Lots of different patterns and colors too I see. You will be able to come up with all types of projects. Good going.

Great job! It's an adorable quilt, I'm sure she'll love it.

Congratulation...!!!!!! Go straight to making another one....You can do it...lol :lol:

What a sweet and endearing gift for the new little one. Don't forget to attach a label on the back , so that she will always now who it came from and when.

Love your color combo! I know it will be a popular mix. I'm hiding the screen from a little one right now because I already have 2 I'm working on with another 2 planned :lol:

Congrats on your first quilt you did an awesome job, it gave you some trouble but you stuck with it and won thru :thumbup: , BTW, that's some choice stuff you got from your Aunt, I bet you'll have lots of fun playing with it :P

I can see me now in a white coat saying hi my name is Bev, I'm a quiltaholic.. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

In the fabrics my Aunt sent over there was some Ice Cream Cones with PINK Icecream. Not enough to do anything with BUT an idea popped in my head...... Use it for a label. After I get it done, I'll show you what I did
