My Very First Quilt


This is my very first quilt.  I stared it during Christmas break of my freshman year at college and believe it was finished in 2002.  What improvements I have made since this quilt - it was cut using a scissors and I only had a hand-drawn pattern.  I purchased the material at Joanne's in Ames, Iowa.  I remember cutting squares until I ran out of fabric...it ended it being a pretty good sized quilt, considering the lack of planning!


The quilt was long-arm quilted by Donna Putnam in Dow City, Iowa who had a machine for her own personal use. Although the fabric colors would not be my first choice again, I love this quilt and use it everyday while watching TV.
