My First Quilt!

Pictures of my first experiment in quilting. My grandma has been after me to try this for ages, and I finally got to it. I chose all the fabric, did the cutting, learned how to use the sewing machine, and did just about everything by myself. I'm very pleased with the result. It looks quite lovely on my bed like this. I can't wait to do more.


I was surprised at the price of the fabric, but it's good quality and should last forever. I loved the contrast of the dark, bright red and black on the front and the soft, white and grey with black silhouettes on the back. In essence, I made this quilt reversible. I also got enough of the white fabric on the back to make a pair of pillowcases to go with this. It was the end of the bolt, maybe a yard left, more than enough to make pillowcases, so when I bought it I said "What the heck," and went with it.
