Camille, who blogs at “Simplify” and Carrie, who blogs at “La Vie en Rosie” have challenged anyone who wants to join in to show their first and most recent quilts. Love this idea!
My first quilt was made in 1981. I took a class and we made one block per week for a sampler quilt. All hand pieced and hand quilted.
My First Quilt
Monday, July 6, 2009
What have I learned since then? Obviously how to use a rotary cutter and a quarter inch foot on the sewing machine. I also noticed the backing is turned to the front on my first quilt for the binding. I’ve also learned how to do a true binding!
And my latest quilt? I just stitched down the binding on this Table topper last night. It’s one of the free bonus patterns using blocks in my upcoming book “Flower Pots”.
Join in! I think it will be fun!
