    Thanks everyone!
    Holy Moly!
    That's your first quilt?!?!?!
    Hand- or machine- pieced?
    It's really beautiful. Perfect points. The colors, the setting, the cornerstones.

    Fabulous!
    It is machine pieced. If you look real close, there are a few points cut off. :-o
    I also quilted it on my regular small-throat sewing machine. It wasn't easy to fit the king-sized quilt in the small throat. I did sid.

    Some really beautiful quilts ladies!

    I started quilting after my Mom passed away from breast cancer.
    I found some of her old handkerchiefs and decided to use them in a quilt (I had done much of ANY sewing....mostly repair work by hand)
    But thought I would give it a try and just jumped in. Here's the finished quilt.
    I just called it M.O.M. (Memories of Mom)

    [quote=KatFish]My first quilt was a Grandmothers Flower Garden made of out old flannel shirts from all the men in my life. At the time I didn't have a sewing machine and though it would be easy to make. lol.[/quote

    What an undertaking for a first quilt! I love that you used flannel from loved ones and that you did it by hand because you didn't have a machine. In awe when I see this pattern knowing the patience it takes to piece!
