My Quilts so far
I am new to this forum and to Quilting.
These are my quilts so far:
First Quilt - for a baby to lie on the floor.
The problems were that I got caught up in the fabric I wanted and the fabric that was available. It turned out nothing like what I wanted. I also didn’t do a patch layout so when it came to quilting it it was impossible. What a disaster but I gave it away to a baby and it was appreciated.
Second Quilt – throw rug size.
I used Zen Chic contrasting Quilt as a template but decided (foolishly) to make it the Sydney, Australia skyline. This ruined the whole thing as no one can identify the outline and it just looks unbalanced.
Third Quilt – throw rug size.
I used this collage picture as a pattern for the quilt (on the left) and after much youtubing to work out how to turn it into a quilt and I think it turned out pretty well. But I think it was too "neat" but that is what my DIL wanted. (I could have had lace and things looking like surf.)

Your quilts are all very nice! The patchwork quilt turned out great, perfect for a little one. I belong to a quilt guild and we make a lot of patchwork, scrappy quilts. People love them and they keep them warm no matter what they look like.
