Hi, everybody!
I've been lurking for a little while (about 2000 msgs worth, which does
not take long for this group!).
I've finished my very first quilt, even though I had very little idea of
what I was doing. It was lots of fun and I want to do *more*.
A picture of it is here (the 'with toes' refers to my toes and the dog's
toes that are also in the picture).
http://www.fenris.net/~lizyoung/quiltwithtoes.jpg
I made it out of cotton flannel top and back, the nice heavy stuff, with
a single layer of cotton batting. I used the machine for everything.
I will give it to a friend of mine, due in October, for a lap quilt.
I just turned the backing over the edges and topstitched to finish the
edges. I think, on reflection, that the edge is too wide, but I'll just
pretend I intended that all along
There are a lot of things I'll do differently for the next quilt, but
I'm pretty pleased with this one. I'll be sorry to see it go.

If that's your first quilt, then I am impressed! Beautiful! Oh, and
welcome to the best group ever!

Welcome, Liz, from another "Young" (by marriage, though). Wonder if you're
related to my DH! What a wonderful job for your first quilt! Looks very
cozy, and I'm sure your friend will love it. I think your edge looks just
fine. Remember, TANQP*! VBG

Welcome Elizabeth,
Isn't that first quilt fun! I have saved my first patchwork quilt
for myself. There have been many many more since then and each one is a
treasure for someone else or myself...
I am looking forward to hearing more about you and your quilting

Yes, 'Dance' - that's the word I was looking for. The stars and the
pinwheels, everything seemed to be jigging about. What fun.
Well done, Liz; and welcome - good to see you here. Glad you've found a
chair. I'm just along a bit on the right (or left if you're going
across the Pacific way)!!

Terrific job! Triangles are ambitious for a first quilt. I'm sure
your friend will love it.
