O.K., here was the first quilt I made. It's a baby quilt for my daughter's close friend who just had a baby boy. I had all kinds of trouble with it. Besides some of the squares not lined up, I decided to hand quilt it (just about a quarter inch from all the straight lines). In doing so, I felt a little nub between the batting and the top. Oh, oh, I didn't catch a pin and it was still inside. I kept working with it until I got it out. It left a little hole in the top. I used liquid stitch on it, which covered most of it up (should have appliqued something over it but I didn't think of it). Then, when I put the binding on and completed sewing all the way around, I discovered I had started on the back side, so I ripped it all out and did it over on the right side. There must have been something else that happened but I can't think of it now.

I think it looks great!! Congrats!!

Well this was quite a challenge for a first quilt! I say you did a fine job. And the little baby boy will never notice those mistakes you are fretting over! I think it's a lovely quilt.

Darling quilt! I'm going to try my hand at this pattern eventually... so many things I want to do! Blessings on you!
|
It turned out wonderful! Excellent first quilt. And now you know what not to do ;)
|
Most "first" quilts don't look as wonderful as this! Don't be so hard on yourself. It's really, really nice! And after a few washings...it's amazing how "quilty" it starts feeling. This little boy will grow up loving it!
|
Beautiful quilt~! even with all your troubles. :D
Great workmanship :thumbup: for a first quilt. ok, we'll be waiting to see the second one .. :lol: |

Looks great for a first quilt. When will you post #2?
|
Congratulations on completing your first quilt! Very cute for a little boy. Your sure did alot of learning on this one and that will make the next one that much easier. You go Girl!
|
I always put my bindings on the back first. Then I roll it over and use a small zig zag to finish it on the front. For a baby quilt that is going to be loved and washed, it is stronger. Plus it takes no time at all.
The quilt is darling |
Adorsble little quilt!
|
Very cute! I'm impressed that is is your first quilt. Keep up the great work!
|
Thank you all for the kind words. I posted #2 yesterday before #1 - just because I thought the pics of #1 were still on the camera.

for what it's worth, I think it's really lovely!
