My first one though I sort of knew what I wanted in my head--no pattern and I just started cutting and sewing. I've learned so much since then. I now wish I still had it, but like you, I've given many away through the years. That one went to some lucky garage sale purchaser for I think $20. Oh well, we were moving and needed the space! My MIL still has one that I hand quilted for her 50th wedding anniversary. Hand quilted on tricot. It was a passing fad back in the 80's around these parts. It is still quite nice on her bed in her assisted living small apartment.Pattilouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17517413155581097319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14426877.post-3558005445742479962013-02-01T18:56:37.638-07:002013-02-01T18:56:37.638-07:00That is a great finish.

He still has it, and I'm not going to say how long that's been! But its decades. =)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14426877.post-4355663139901413332013-02-01T01:03:12.669-07:002013-02-01T01:03:12.669-07:00Lovely first quilt !

When she died about 6 years ago, I found it when cleaning out her house and have it back! My second quilt, which I kept, got a lot of use and is stored so that the holes won't get any bigger!

My first "real" quilt was also an applique project for a quilting class taken way back in 1983! It's hiding out on my blog on an 'early quilts' page, and is now tucked safely away in a drawer after hanging in the guest room for many years.Quilting Babciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16225825007525655805noreply@blogger.com
