My first quilt!
I am very pleased with how my very first quilt came out. I used all scrap material. I looked at patterns for quilt blocks, but in the end decided to do a very simple patch quilt. I quilted the material using the "in the ditch" technique which means you sew thru all three layers of fabric (front, back and batting) along the seams. I made the binding myself, and thats the only thing that I had a rough time with. This quilt is a crib size quilt. The back is a panel I bought a long time ago.

Nice quilt! Looks cozy. :) I see you're a pretty experienced sew-er, did you find quilting easy? Did you use your regular sewing machine to do the quilting?

I found it pretty easy, however a patchwork quilt isn't very complicated at all. I did use my regular sewing machine to do the quilting.

Man, you've been on a roll. So that is why you've been so quiet lately... Everything looks great!!! You are so good at just 'whipping' something up! Wish I could do that!

I really want to do a quilt too. I have no idea how though. We have a quilting store here in town, maybe I should check that out. That's a nice quilt.

You are a wonderful seamstress. (I also love the awesome backpacks and that sun hat is adorable!!)

Your first quilt? My first didn't have matching corners like yours *giggle* I guess I'm not made for jobs that require using scales finer than cm.
