    Default My First Quilt for Profit
    I am attaching a picture of an oversized rail fence quilt that I made and the first quilt I've ever sold...I pieced the top several years ago and was showing quilt tops I had pieced to a friend and he fell in love with the colors in this quilt and had me finish it for his Mother's 80th birthday...she loved the quilt! I have a Juki2010 on a Grace Pinnacle frame, it's the largest quilt I have ever done since I bought it 3 years ago... I thought it was going to eat my lunch, but actually I am pretty pleased at how it turned out! I feel more confident now with my fmq....thanks for looking!

    Wow, very pretty and I can see why he would love the colors. I hope to someday have a LA, but first I guess I should master my DM.

    You should be very proud of your work - it is so, so lovely. Feels good, doen't it to sell your work? Congratulations and I am sure there are more sales in your future.
