My First Quilt
This one isn't perfect at all. (I'm almost ashamed to show it.) Who knew piecing squares could be so hard? Or that 1/4" seams would matter? Or a good machine makes a difference?
Fabric. That certainly is another topic. I picked anything and everything! Lesson learned.
I learned a lot from this quilt. Even with its many imperfections, it will always be special to me, because it was my first.
Kicking and screaming doesn't help. Thankfully I had a great teacher--my daughter Britt. Her patience with a reluctant student (let alone that it was her mother) was amazing. She likes to push me, knowing full well I can do something and that I will love it.
Firsts. The first occurrence of something notable.
It is truly amazing how far you have come, you should be very proud of yourself, I am quite sure your daughter is!!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Marsha! I am and she is too!
DeleteJayne, I think your first quilt is Lovely! Also, I feel ya on how important those stupid 1/4 inch seams are...LOL I should show you a pic of my first rag quilt OMG. It's so nice to hear about your process and learn a little more about you! Happy quilting :)
ReplyDeleteHi Jayne, I enjoyed your focus on firsts! Looks like a great blog, all the best with it!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations On Your Blog Jayne! It's really lovely and I LOVE your 1st quilt!!! You GO gRRRl! :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your lovely quilt and starting a blog. I am a newbie too! Just started a few months ago. What fun I'm having!
ReplyDeleteMama! Way to go. I'm proud of you for starting a blog & am excited to use it to make sure you're being productive! :) Don't forget that your first quilt was inspired by a Kaffe Fasset pattern from a book I'm not sure we have anymore, and it turned out great! You combined prints and batiks in interesting ways. That's the fun thing about beginners--they have no idea what the rules are, so they don't think twice about breaking them!
ReplyDeleteLooks great. And ahhh so much learning. Can't wait to see what other things you come up with next.
