    My next project is a queen size friendship braid for my husband. I am using mostly the Northcott stonehenge warm color palette. I will try to get some in progress pics and post for all of you. I just wanted to thank all of you very encouraging folks on the forum, I never expected this many of you to look at and comment on my very first quilt.

    Yes and if you blow the pic up you will probably find just as many that don't. But I am trying harder on the next one.

    Looks like you did a very nice job!
    I've only been quilting for about a year and a half. I remember the feeling of finishing my first quilt. I made 3 or 4 small quilts to get the experience before I did a queen. I highly recommend doing that. You'll be surprised what you will learn with each quilt and by the time you get to the larger one, you'll be more experienced and much more confident.
    Probably the most important lesson I learned on the small quilts was to be precise on my cutting and piecing. I was surprised how a very small variance quickly adds up with multiple blocks. Be as accurate as you possibly can and you will be able to make a beautiful queen size that you'll be proud of.
    Keep us posted on your progress.

    I would have never guessed that it was you first quilt. You did a great job in picking colors and sewing.

    It was what Hubs wanted, and at our house we have a go big or go home policy. He does auto interiors and his first one at 19 yrs old was on a 65 impala and was done in white tweed on an early 60's singer sewing machine. Oh yeah he was doing mechanic work at the time( Grease+white tweed are not a good combo). The car was a featured in a National car magazine. Also I will be putting sashing between the rows so I shouldn't have to many seams to match( I hope). Does anyone have any tips for putting this quilt together. Thanks again
