My first quilt for someone else!!!

I
 Well, here it is, my first sampler quilt that I did custom for someone else. There are bobo's, but I did learn allot.  Use colored thread on the colors, how to use the rulers, quite a challenge for the curved ones,  be careful with pins,  I stabbed myself at least five times.   Well, I will invest in a new extended base the round one, the one I have does not stay on flat, it goes up on the sides and catches in the top.  All in all I am pleased, and I am sure that my friend will be also.

Looks great! I like the wavy lines-it gives a lot of movement to the quilt!

    Today I can say "thirty years in waiting"  is finished I had made a queen size quilt with these fabrics and I missed it so that I had started another but put it away for a rainy day.    So happy that I found the box many years later and was able to get it finished at last!! A nine patch or simple irish chain, so off I went with my box, and this is what it turned into.... I am so pleased, and it is big enought to use on the dining room table. I have a few squares left, maybe enought to make a place setting or something. The quilting design is from My Creative Stitches  Monday Patch Vacation time is over and we are back to our art!! Two of the gals have finished their giant wedding ring, one is ready to be quiltied and another is alread to go on the table.  Quilting in lines, it turned out really nice.
