My first quilt is complete. Don’t look too closely, there’s quite a few mistakes (squares not lining up, not-so straight lines, a bit of puckering, etc). But overall, I think it turned out pretty well.
Made for: a coworker. Her baby shower at work is tomorrow.
Finished size: 31.5″ x 39.5″
Started: late Dec 2007
Finished: 10 January 2008
Fabrics: a jungle print, green & blue tie dye, yellow gingham. all flannel
Batting: Warm & White - craft sized.
Thread: Guterman 100% cotton for the piecing, Coats Dual Duty for the quilting and binding.
I had issues with the cotton thread breaking while piecing the quilt. Not sure if it was a bad spool, or if my machine doesn’t like that type of thread. I switched for the quilting process to thread I know my machine likes. (though it did act up a bit sewing the binding on.)
here’s a few more pics (click to embiggen):
