Showing off my very 1st quilt

Post by ldoom » Sat Jun 28, 2008 5:30 am

This is my very first quilt. I still have 8 more rows to sew on, but I am waiting for more fabric to be shipped. I mede it from Roman holiday by moda Fat Quarters. I had enough material to make a king size quilt, however, being my first experience I made some cutting errors. I made some sewing mistakes but over all I think I did ok! I am planning on putting a small red border, then a brown floral border followed by a large brown border.
What do you guys think?

How lovely...What a wonderful accomplishment for your 1st quilt. Make sure your label indicates that it was your first that will make it a really family treasure. The colors are beautiful.

Thanks for the nice comments. When you look closely you can see many mistakes. My seams are off in a few places. As the quilt gets bigger it pulls to the side. I tried to keep it rolled up. I am sure it just takes practice. As soon as I finish I will upload more photos.

I like your arrangement of the colors and fabric. Congrats on your FIRST quilt! Looks like you might be hooked and we can look forward to many more from you.

And welcome to the forum, I don't think I've seen your name before.
