The Quilt is Finished!!!


After procrastinating for a few weeks, worried that it would be "too hard", I finally just did it!

I laid out and taped the backing to the floor--















I spread out the batting--

I laid out the quilt top over the backing and batting-

And I pinned it all together--

I machine quilted it-
And here IT is finished---

The front--
And the back--
Although it's not perfect--it is my "1st Quilt Ever"--I'm happy with it.
I LOVE the colors
and most importantly
I learned alot!
I've already started on another quilt!!!

  2. Megan, It is beautiful! You should be so pleased with yourself. Quilts are such treasures - I have one that my grandmother made. It is one of those things I'll grab if I have a fire in the house! You have created an heirloom! Way to go!!!!!!
    And...
    Darlin' if there was a way to send you some butterbeans you know I would!

  8. Hi Megan.
    I am so glad you dropped by my blog this morning. Thank you for your kind words. :o) I sure am enjoying creating both the string quilt and the hexagons. :o)
    Your quilt is absolutely beautiful!! And so beautifully quilted. I have not been able to master machine quilting yet. :o)
    Your love bug post is funny. I had never heard of love bugs before moving to the south. Yikes, they are everywhere at times! Not sure if the weather was so cold in the winter, that it killed them off (for now) but I have not seen them in the longest time. :o)
    Have a great day and drop by anytime.
    Sincerely ~ Tricia
