I have loved reading all these "first quilt" stories. My aunt and cousins inspired me to quilting as they always made beautiful quilts so upon retirement in 2010 I bought a new machine and started in. My first was called Rosettes by Vivian Smith. I didn't know that I didn't know enough to make it so I jumped in. I'm happy with the top but it isn't sandwiched yet. I am waiting until I am better at the quilting part to finish it. I purchased a Sweet 16 last year and I'm getting more skilled. I may tackle the quilting on that first quilt later this year.....or next. Unfinished that first quilt hangs in my sewing room and I love it! [ATTACH=CONFIG]573552[/ATTACH]
