Celebration

I made this quilt in honor of the birth of my daughter, my first child. It was my FIRST quilt ever! It is titled "Celebration" and took me about three months to complete. It is hand quilted and binded.
OK My handstitches are HUGE! I admit, but it was my first try and they are somewhat straight!

Its a keeper :) but if I could do it again I would probably use a different base color than this wood green.


But all in all it is a special quilt hat will hopefully be passed down for many generations. Thanks for stopping by.

  19. You did a terrific job- the star is a tricky pattern . Hope you continue to explore and create quiltmaking- it is a wonderful hobby.

  22. wonderful quilt--the star with those large fabric pieces is fantastic and so sweet for your little girl. actually, i think large stitches are so handmade-looking and cute! i never learned to do the teeny quilting stitches, so maybe i'm prejudiced that way, but i do like it. thanks for sharing.come visit me if you get a chance
