My First Quilt

Completed quilt

Completed quilt
Work in progress

Learn It

This project was made as part of a Craftsy course:
Quilting Quickly: Patterns, Techniques & Tips »

Instructions

I used the lesson on disappearing nine patch for this quilt.

Difficulty:

Category: Quilting

Type of item: Functional

For: Home

Style: Casual


Materials

I used Nature Scapes charm packs (4) by Benartex for the top with a flannel backing.

What was your inspiration?

I was drawn to the colors and how they might blend together.

What are you most proud of?

I know that there are a lot of mistakes. It was a learning quilt. I fixed what I could and just accepted what i could not. I am proud that I saw this project though to completion and I am quite happy with the end result.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Jenny's course was very clearly presented. I was a complete beginner, but I was able to make a quilt. I think that says a lot.

Wow, I haven't had the nerve to start one yet, did you layer and quilt yourself or send it out, and what color thread did you quilt with considering all the colors?

i did quilt it myself. I used a light grey thread that blended in pretty well.
