Laurajbr, your quilt is so beautiful. I'm just new on here and quilting. Haven't made one yet. If mine turns out half as nice as yours, I'll be very happy. Happy quilting

I am amazed at your sense of color which is amazing and if you quilted it you are indeed talented. After 20 years my quilts don't look better. Thank you.

We are always our own worse critics. Your quilt is lovely, both piecing and quilting.

You know what, it was sewn with love, that makes it special. I like the blues you used in it, simple pattern, great for a first quilt to start with. Now you can challenge yourself to continue on the fun journey.

I think your first quilt is a beauty. It's a pretty simple equation: quilt = love, and your sister could feel it.

You have done a fantastic job and your quilting is great. Kudos to you. I wouldn't show anyone my first quilt.

We are absolutely our own worst critics. I like your quilt. My first one was a simple one, with not even that many colors and a much simpler pattern. I still have it and I love it. The pattern is Just Can't Cut it. I made it out of WM fabrics and the total cost for the lap was probably $60. It's in a China blue & yellow colors. All 3 of my girls have asked for it. I won't give it away. It was the first and most after it have been a bit harder, but not all. Quilting is a journey.

I am having to learn, that what my family & friends love about my quilts are that I made them. And if they are a gift, the receivers know they are special to me. They don't know all the fancy thoughts I had in my brain while I was redesigning the borders or blocks. They just see what they got and no one has been disappointed.

Enjoy the journey, because you will get better. And if you don't, your quilts will still be loved. As a friend of mine said, once they are washed and get all crinkly, they all look good. She is right.

Happy Quilting!

Does not look like a first quilt to me. You did a beautiful job! Can't believe you were able to quilt like that on your first quilt.

This quilt is perfectly a quilt that looks lovely. Pieced well, quilted with very nice curves and the fabrics all work together to enhance.
