I still can't believe this
#1
So... I was at my grandmother's looking for some old slides with her and I came across this. It was one of my earliest attempts at a quilt.... Seams are terrible, design sucks.... I was maybe 6 or 8....
I kinda want to finish it.... but I don't know what to do. Any ideas?

If it were my first attempt, I would make it the center piece of a larger quilt, surrounding it with quilting from where I am right now, sort of a "this is where I was and this is where I am now" kinda piece. In the newer quilting, you could show off the neater seams and better designs while still paying homage to where you were, your roots. :D

What a wonderful find.
Build a memory quilt. Find other fabrics which mean something, print some early childhood photos onto fabric, and it's done. Wish my family had kept my early attempts at sewing. I think it's gorgeous.
