Default My first big quilt But!!!!!!!!!!!

But it did not turn out as I wanted it to.
I think I thought too big in the first place. I could not move it around
as I would have liked to, on the sewing machine.
Still I tried and I hope that Butterfly will not be too disappointed.

DH said I would do better next time, if there is a next time.
Anyway the top fabric only cost me 5 GBP's about 10 dollars.
You can see my effort under other crafts on my website which is in my
sig. line.
Maybe I should stick with beading LOL

Shirley-

It's lovely! You did GOOD! And you should be VERY proud of it-
whether it's your first or not it's a beautiful quilt. I hope you
will continue with quilting.... you have so much artistic talent that
you will only get better and better.

efforts than than others are. G

I think it's great! Not sure what you were wanting but I would use that
quilt in my house. I do hope you keep on quilting. It's always a
learning process no matter whether you are a beginner or you have been
doing it for 20 yrs. So enjoy!
Take care
Joanna

looks good to me!

I've never made a big quilt, I'm not sure I ever will, I'm very much a duvet
person when it comes to sleeping, I'd have no use for a big quilt, though I
had thought of turning a pieced top into a duvet cover.
