    Inspireing to see the color you set it with. I have a shoe box full of left over blocks. Now I see what they can become. Marvel

    My first quilt was just last year, too. I made it for my DGD. It's a D9P and I named it 'Butterflies in Olivia's Garden'.
    Here is a pic.

    It looks great to me and if your not pleased with your hand quilting just keep doing it and you'll be surprised the day you realize your quilting stitches look nice and even. Remember we all seem to have one stitch that has a little tweak to it that becomes our quiting signature. :D
    I have made about 30 quilts since that one-most all hand-quilted, so I'm pleased with my hand quilting-now, but not with that first one!!

    Wow-most of your "firsts" were fantastic! I just thought it would be fun to take a step back to where we all started to see how far we've come!

    Wonderful pics! I don't know how to post pictures, but most of my quilts are given away as soon as they're completed.
