First Quilt


Since I intend to post pictures of my projects here, as I go along, it just so happens that I have guardianship of this at the moment.  It's the first quilt I ever made and was for my daughter, Charis, on her 21st birthday.  That was 2001 !  I can't take credit for the fabric selection - she has a great eye for colour/design - but I did stitch it completely by hand.  Sadly, I need to return it to her when she visits in a few weeks time.

  2. It truly is a lovely quilt. Perhaps you could repeat the process and make one for yourself.

  3. That's exactly what I've been thinking. I did two of the sampler quilts to start with and Hell knows what else between now and then. As soon as I have dealt with all the unfinished projects, I think one for me is in order!

  4. You haven't mentioned that it's not *just* a quilt!

  5. Ooops...apologies to 'the keeper' - my daughter. It is, in fact, a quillow. For those who don't know what that is, there's an extra block pocket on the reverse, which allows it to be folded up to form a cushion. Very handy!
