Looks great. I love your little hand-quilted rocket ships!!!! Thanks for sharing. You are off to a great start!!
|
Next I have a special quilt in the works with airplanes as the theme. For my son, who is about to enter Navy flight school. I am working on piecing the top now. Unlike this one, almost every block is different, so it is taking me a while to get it finished and ready to quilt.
|
So, can you guys see my biggest mistake of the whole thing? The little booklet I started with had this pattern called Monkey Wrench, so that is what I called it. However, when I was putting the blocks together, I switched every other blue set so that the fabric was on the inside of the block on one side, but on the outside of the block on the other side. I had all the blocks finished before I noticed. :x So I left them! I decided it was a "learning" quilt anyway, and I've never been fond of ripping.
|
My goodness that's great and you say it's your first quilt? You did a wonderful job!
|
What a BEAUTIFUL quilt, you have made!! :D
I just love everything about it. Now I can hardly wait to see what's next!! Keep up the good work. :D :D :D :D |

Yes, the first thing I will have to do is wash it to get the dog hair off. Gidget loved to sleep on it while I was sewing the binding down. :roll:
|
Wonderful job! Love the fabrics you used.
|
Very nice thanks for sharing....:-)
|
Looks great!!!
|
Wow ... that was a very ambitious pattern for your first quilt. Great job! I'm sure your daughter will treasure it;Perfect choice for an aeronautical engineer. Did you do the hand quilting too? I'm blown away ...... You are a natural, girlfriend.
|
I love it. You did an awesome job :D
|
Your hand quilting stitches are awesome! I also love the pattern, and didn't even notice. I'd say you have a great talent for quilting!

I had a little freebie "How To Quilt" pamphlet to start with, with very sketchy instructions. It made it sound so easy, and I was naive enough to believe it to be so. At first I did not plan to have it set on point with sashing, but just plain blocks. Then, as I was piecing the blocks, DD went and bought a KING SIZE bed. So I had to figure out some way to make it bigger. Hence the sashing and points. It is just barely big enough to cover the top of her bed, but by that time I couldn't get my hands on any more fabric quickly, and her birthday was fast approaching. I ended up backing with a plain back, originally I had intended to use the lightest rocket fabric as the backing. Maybe lots of quilts have a story like this, I don't know if maybe I am the only one who suffers from such a lack of planning. |
What a great quilt! I adore those fabrics! Make more!
|
wow, this is a great quilt, for a first time one! I just know she will love it! :D
