This project has been finished for a while now. It would be very embarrassing to admit exactly how long it sat in my studio looking like this…
But it’s done now and I am so very excited to finally be sharing it here! My first quilt! I finished a quilt! I’m a quilter!!!
And it’s sloppy and so very far from perfect, but I love it anyway! And, luckily, so does the little four year old guy it was intended for.
I call it my “Storybook Quilt” because so many of these lovely fabrics remind me of the illustrations in vintage children’s books.
There are some really beautiful and special fabrics in this quilt.
And now on to Iain’s quilt (just as soon as I figure out how to use my sister’s machine).
Wonderful job. I finished my first official quilts just before Christmas (one was actually finished Dec 24 at 10:45ish!) I am so proud of them. They are full of errors, but my children love them all the same. I am sure yours will be treasured!
What sweet, sweet fabrics! It’s wonderful, sloppy or not.
It’s lovely! I have begun so many quilts but sadly have not finished a single one. Someday! I especially love that woodland animal fabric; I made Bunny a pair of pants out of that when she was tiny and I loved them so!
Hooray Melody, your quilt is beautiful! A perfect combination of sweet fabrics!
I am not going to tell you how long ago I made a quilt top that has yet to be completed… but in my defense it’s because I don’t have a backing fabric, or really I should say it’s because I changed my mind about the backing fabric, and so now it sits, all these years later. Fine, I will tell you, I think it’s been about 8 years!
Fabulous! You remind me I have to get working on a baby quilt that is due in 4 weeks. Ya I work well under pressure
This one was actually supposed to be for Elijah, but by the time I got around to actually quilting it, he was too old for it!
