My First Quilt

Who remembers their first quilt project?  I sure do.  when I heard that I was going to be a grandmother, I decided I wanted to make a quilt in time for the baby shower.  I went to the library and checked out every book they would let me check out about quilts.  Never having made one, the only supplies I had was a sewing machine.  I loved all the quilts in the books but felt I could only do the applique because of my lack of skill.  The pattern I chose had 52 hearts.  I worked on it faithfully and finished it in time.  I worked on the hand applique in all my free time.  Even when the hubby and I went on our anniversary trip, i worked on the quilt.  My hubby asked me many times to put the project away but I was determined that it would be finished on time.    I hope I can find a picture of it.  We didn't have all the advanced tech cameras and phones then.  That was 21 years ago after all.  I love that quilt.  I tied it of course because that is all i knew how to do then.
UPDATE: Found the picture

The colors are not vibrant here but they were in person.  Pinks and greens. Over the years I repaired the quilt numerous times because my granddaughter loved it and carried it everywhere with her.  Made me happy.


Today is my youngest grandson's 11 month birthday!
