This is my first quilt. Sewing machines don't like me so it's hand pieced and hand sewn. I learned a lot, made a few mistakes. But I enjoyed the whole process.

Re: First quilt
This is amazing--all hand pieced! Great job! By the way, getting friendly with the sewing machine might not be the worst friendship you could make, and doing quilt pieces might be a great place to practice. If the machine is balky, you might consider having someone do a professional tune up and you might just find your sewing machine and you could become friends! But good luck and keep quilting, however you end up doing it.

Re: First quilt
Thanks all. I'm working on quilt #3 now. It's another big block style. I think I'd like to try something more detailed the next time. I made a couple pot holders before I tried the first quilt that had triangles and such. Since I'm hand sewing anyway. I was thinking a dresden plate something....maybe a table runner.

Re: First quilt
Wow! Fantastic job Wendy. Your first quilt top has come together beautifully. Not sure I would have the patience for doing this by hand.
I have a girlfriend who started quilting by hand but once she saw what I was doing on my machine, she was a convert!
As we are both new to quilting it has been a super fun and exciting adventure so far. (We're hooked)
I hope you get the chance to become better acquainted with your machine.May your sorrows be patched and your joys be quilted
