First Quilts - DQ Amalie

(Guest post by DQ Amalie, the 2nd in our series of 'First Quilts')

I have not been quilting very long so I will share the first and so far only quilt I have made. I do not own a sewing machine yet, so all my projects are hand pieced over paper to keep it fixed. This quilt was a gift for a very special person or rather persons, a good friend and her newborn daughter.

My first quilt started with these fabrics..




Came to look like this after I fixed the fabric on the paper templates..




The front of the quilt ended up like this after hand sewing the pieces..




And the end result with a purple fleece back and batting looked like this..



After making this quilt I was completely hooked on making more quilted things. I have made a few patchwork balls since and have also started on my next quilt.
