My First Complete Quilt – Old but Pretty Good

I started quilting years and years ago, 30+ years. This is my first quilt, I had started with pillow tops. I took a class in Burlington, Iowa. Which was taught by Liz Porter, at the time she was working for Better Homes and Garden, was speaking on the weekends. This was a bring 2 1/2″ squares, share with all, and do color gradation. a one day class.  See my quilt patterns

My first quilt

We all start someplace, I didn’t know how to do corners or how to do a double binding. We are all new once. I love this quilt, it’s home to me, it’s been packed, moved, taken, machine washed and dried for years. I will not mend or fix anything on it. It’s like me, old but still pretty good.

BUT, what I did know how to do was hand quilt. All those pillows I made.  Hearts in each square and straight line on the outside edges. 

My first quilt

I see and hear it all the time about being perfect with your quilt making. Stop it !  DON’T be perfect, DO ! !  Do it wrong, do it right, but DO it.
