My First Quilt

When Lynne from Lily's Quilts posted yesterday about the first anniversary of her first quilt, it stuck in my mind for a while and got me thinking about my first quilt. After I made it I always reckoned I should have made a cushion to start with and sometimes am amazed that I kept quilting - I found it so hard.

I am however, still fond of it and now look back on it as the start of an amazing journey.
I thought it might be fun for you to show your first quilt..............

    It's so nice to see your first quilt, Shelia! I love how you embroidered like that so that your family will remember that it is your first one too. I haven't made a large quilt before, but I have made a laptop sized quilt which I hope counts!

    Hi, another visitor from sent by Lynne and I have linked up to follow. I am really new to quilting and linked up my first quilt which I finished in January, the Bliss Charm quilt. I loved doing it and have been quilting madly since, I'm now nearly finished my 3rd! If you pop over to visit please say hi! I love your first quilt, I must try and label mine that's such a great idea.

    What a brilliant idea - lovely to see everyone`s quilts and how amazing they all are. My first quilt was the Union Jack in pastels, which I made for my friend`s daughter, Leonora.

    Thanks for sharing your first quilt! I'm still making mine! I'm thumbnail 13 - black and white. I'm working on the back right now. It's based on the moda sugar pop n change pattern/tutorial.

    What a brilliant idea!
    I sometimes forget to go back and look at the photo to see how great my first quilt was! It's nice to be reminded sometimes how far we've come, but also what we managed achieved then without the knowledge (and probably the tools) we have now.
