My First Quilt
In reality, even though it was completed after the other quilt, it was the first one that I started. I had the most wonderful assistant, teacher, and mentor... my sister Dee. Who would have imagined that quilters are even more horrid enablers than knitters? Go figure!
I am happy with my endeavor. But, I have so much to learn about color. I chose very complementary colors and I think I needed to use more contrast. Perhaps, a better choice than the purple would have been a very dark green?
I just love the ticking that I found for the backing. And the lady who did the machine quilting did a marvelous job. All in all... I'm tickled pink!

It's beautiful. I've never seen ticking on the back of quilts .. I really like it. Now to find some.
I love it; much prettier than my first quilt. That said, I wouldn't trade mine for anything; my grandmother helped me make it when I was in grade school.
Ticking's an awesome choice, too; it looks great!
How pretty!!!! I'm new to quilting, so you can consider me doubly impressed!!! I haven't yet finished a full-size one.
