    Here is a photo of the first quilt I made in 1982. It is a Sampler Quilt, hand pieced and hand quilted using Georgia B. system. It took me a full year to make. Since then I machine piece, but still hand quilt

    That is very pretty. I really like the block in the middle of the page, the dark cross with the fans in the corners. That would make a great BOM pattern. Hint, hint!! :wink:

    It's beautiful, Barb. It's not looking that old, it's just lovely.

    ps: I like that middle block, too! :oops:

    Barb, I am sooooooo impressed! When I started quilting, I wouldn't do anything by hand. Of course, all that has changed, as I have learned to love the process and find hand work relaxing. Very nice quilt!!!!

    It still looks new Sharon because I only use it as my bedspread. Thanks everyone for your nice comments.
