My First Quilt (that’s not quite done)

 

So…Camille offered up a bit of a challenge on her blog.  A parade of quilts if you will.  Show your first quilt and then show your last one.  Since I’ve just started then I can only show my first.   And of course it’s not done.  Camille is really the one who got me interested in quilting in the first place so it’s only right that I use one of her patterns for it.  Right?  I know some of you won’t be too impressed…(I’ve seen your work) But hello!  There was no one around to help me with this and I know zip about quilting!  So yup, I’m so loving it and I’m impressed with myself!  LOL!  (Now I just have to figure out how to get it quilted and then I’ve seen several binding tutorials and it’ll be done!! (Don’t my boys look SO handsome with their shaggy hair?  I need to cut it)

Oh!  I almost forgot!  In the interest of keeping me interested in quilting, you should show me LOTS of kind comments…Hee! Hee!

I did learn a couple of things doing this quilt. One is that when you have a border of strips that you are adding to the edge, they do stretch. Hmmm...good to know. And the other thing is that when something black that kind of reminds you of tar comes off of the iron onto your fabric, then just add another flower! LOL!!
