My first quilt



This was my first attempt at quilting. My grand daughter Liz asked for a quilt for her wedding gift. She picked out the colors and  wanted a large square motif. I thought simple just make 12 inch square and sew them together. Well is wasn't simple but it was fun.  Three weeks later it was done. I learned a lot making that quilt. First of all not to be so ambitious but she is very happy with it. It suits her artistic nature. She is studying art education in Fort Wayne.

  1. It is very pretty, but then I'm partial to yellow. It is BIG though, and for a first quilt, WOW.

  3. This is WONDERFUL! I had my first quilt top in a box since 1996. I have just taken it out of the box, mended it and now I'm ready to quilt.
