I think it is beautiful. A quilt to be proud of. Handquilting is an art in itself. And your colors are beautiful together.

I agree with the comment made earlier in this thread...You are a natural. Your quilt would make my grandmother drool!
I love the look of this one...but I would really love to touch it! It has the style of scrap quilts that I knew when I was too young to appreciate them...but I loved the way they felt! Glad you finally have the time to enjoy all that quilting has to offer...your skills will continue to serve you well, I'm sure...and I can't wait to see what you'll share with us next! Beautiful quilt and great work!

Very very pretty. Looks like an antique quilt.

Just love the colours ...what a great job!

Awesome!!!!!! ea

I love how the colors flow into each other, just beautiful!

I love it! It is so soft looking. You did a beautiful job. I really like the 9 patch look. The more I see it the more I like it and there are so many things you can do with it! I love the way you did your colors. I'll say it again, you did a really nice job!

Wow, I love the colors you did your quilt in , you are a natural
in quilting, can't wait to see your next one.Thank you for sharing this one with us. :D

Beautiful, love the colors, pattern and your hand quilting is beautiful too. You did a wonderful job.

Beautiful....great job on your first quilt~~~~Keep up the good work.

If trhis is your first then you must be a natural! What a great looking quilt. I am looking forward to seeing your next finished project.

You did fantastic! What a lot of work! It's beautiful! Love the fact that it's hand quilted! I love doing the HQ too! Nice job! :D :D

Wow, it is absolutely fabulous, I love the soft colours, your quilting is simply amazing for a first quilt too!! LOVE it Gal!! :D

WOW, you did a great job, and now you are hooked like the rest of us.

Wow! I love your quilt! It is gorgeous!

Nice work Gal. Hope you were OK earthquake-wise. Can't believe there are still so many after shocks going on in the Christchurch area.

oh the colors are just wonderful!! and your quilting is really super!! great, great job!!

I hope you are all okay after the earthquake. I just saw the quilt and it is lovely. Quite an accomplishment for a first try.

Look forward to seeing your next creations.

Don't be so critical of yourself. I think you did a terrific job. Your hand quilting is beautiful. I would love to have your quilt.

Thank you all so much, yes over 200 after shocks, last one 4. something at 9am this morning, but they are getting smaller thankgoodness and only rock our cottage gently, we suffered a lot of damage to our things inside the house with the anitial 7.1 quake, my poor DH lost his 200 year old clock which he loved so much, smashed to pieces, but apart from minor cuts and bruises I live to quilt another day! We count ourselves among the lucky ones as so many people have no home or work place, all has to be demolished, really feel for those families!

Gal

really, really, cute!!!

To repeat what everyone else has said, Wonderful job! I love the colors. Very peaceful!

very nice looking :)

Hand quilted ? Whoa, it's very impressive! all those tiny squares and very nicely put together, love those colors too. Must have taken you awhile to hand quilt it.

now that's a scrappy recycled quilt.good going.

Thanks nwm, I can't recall how long it took to quilt, but only 2 or 3 months, that was all but I did work on it EVERY DAY even if just for a few minutes!

Gal

Your quilt is beautiful and so is the hand quilting. It looks so cozy and I love the colors. You did a fantastic job.

You did a great Job. It is a Beautiful quilt. Your quilting is Great.

Gorgeous, love the colors and love the quilting. I didn't see any mistakes. Great job.

Very nice work

That is beautiful....I love it. You did a good job on finding just the right fabrics and arranging them. Hand quilting is beautiful too. If it needs a new home, I'll send my addy.

Oh that is beautiful! And yes the fist makes us want to try to make about 300 more at least!

Beautiful; I love how all your fabrics have made such a pleasing combination. :thumbup:

Yippee! You did it! Great job, I love the colors.

My favorite kind of quilt. Really nice job - and hand quilting - what an accomplishment.

It's gorgeous! I can only hope mine will come out looking half as good! lol Congrats!

Fugal & recycling...boy can I relate. I have purchased garments at garage sales & thrift stores simply for the fabric or the buttons. Both are quite expensive & as long is there is life left it's worth repurposing. You're a girl with vision & I love the quilt. Quiet an accomplishment for a first quilt I would say.

I love it! Can I ask if you had a design in mind and then went to the op shops looks for the fabrics you needed, or did you buy what you liked and put the design together afterwards?

I love the way it draws the eye around in a very harmonious way, and it looks sooooooo sooooooooffffft!

Well done. Sorry to hear about your DHs old clock. So sad to see all the buildings that will have to be demolished in ChCh- it really is incredible that no one lost their life.

Beautiful!
