Hi everyone,
I am new here and you haven't heard from me in a few weeks. I have been busy with other things but I have managed to find time to do this quilt for my grand baby... she loves horses and my dearest friend gave me the horse material years ago,so, here it is the top is done. I am so excited - my first quilt.

I have been learning along the way of my "self taught" venture between reading and watching you tube I have learned so much! I love the internet!! AND I LOVE QUILTING!!!! I am officially addicted and the coolest part is that my DH is supporting me all the way, yeah!

So, I have attached pictures. The one block is my very first block I made three weeks ago and the quilt top is what I finished yesterday, just the top so far.

The first one is very pretty and a great job. The second one is also very nice.

Oops... forgot to tell you all that ... I AM A BEGINNER!
but, you can probably tell with the little flaws I have on the quilt... one little burn from my mini iron and next to that a corner didn't line up... but, all-in-all I am so excited about doing my very first quilt.

Thank you!

It's so much fun! I was using fabric that I already had and now I am on to a new quilt with fabrics I have just purchased. That was a baby quilt now I am going to try a queen. Praying along the way!
