My First 2 Quilts Ever!

I started with the idea of making a quilt as soon as I heard I was going to be an aunt again. Which made me happy immediately. So, browsing the web I found your site and I love it. It's very clear and specific and all instructions are really useful.

I'm not much of a sampler person, so I decided to get right to it. Of course, I picked the easiest possible design (the 4 squares) and off I go. First, I got the idea of making it reversible, one set of colors on each side. So I made both tops and when I tried to make them fit it was impossible.

I realize then, why I have never seen a two sided quilt before. There's no way this was going to work. So backing up I end up making two of them separately. The result, I must say, for me was splendid.

I know that it has some defects. But I realize nobody was going to look at that. I already showed them off to my mom, grandma, and the husband and they love it!! Of course I still have it hidden from my brother and sister-in-law. I intend to give it to them on the first baby shower.

Anyways, I'm really grateful for all the work and hours of dedication you put on this site. It really helped me out, ending up with a great result. I never got frustrated. That really was a breeze.

So, hugs and kisses for you and your effort. I love that you decided to pass on your knowledge. Here I put two pictures of the final product. Thanks again.
