My First Quilt

Bonnie Hunter of Quiltville is having a "Share your first quilt!" linky party!

The first quit I made was for my niece Deborah when she graduated from college.  I selected a free online pattern Fine-Toothed Comb... which was guaranteed to be for "absolute beginners."

Depending on online tutorials for use of a rotary cutter, a cutting mat, and an acrylic ruler, I was able to get the top sewn together one morning.

Pin basting and quilting took a couple of days...

...and I was finished in a little over a week (May 3rd 2009).

Fortunately, I did not have to learn to sew and/or operate a sewing machine as I've been dressmaking for more years than I can remember!  Two-and-a-half years later.... I am well and truly addicted!
