This is the very first quilt I made many years ago-as you can see, it has been WELL used and washed a million times! I'm game to show it, even though I cringe when I look at the hand-quilting! How about others posting their very first project (if you still have it!)

Peg, your's is a far nicer one than mine! But isn't it fun to look back at our beginnings and see how far we've come!!!

yea-I should have "mis-placed" it, but my youngest son was about 7 when I made it and he loved it! I would say it has been well-used and loved-it is STILL in use when he gets cold watching TV-even though there are a couple more nicer ones I made draped over the couch! By the way, he is now 25 years old and 6'4"!!

Great first quilt obviously you are a natural. My 1st was a gift I was a sewer but it was a Very simple pattern not a sampler. Yours is still very beautiful!
