Thanks Scarlett! Tell us about your first, girlfriend!
Jake, my first quilt was not as ambitious as yours, it was a twin bed quilt for my daughter, who was about 3 at the time. It was a one-patch, 1000 Pyramids in burgundy, pink and blue calico’s.
It’s coming apart in some of the seams, need to fix it. My daughter still has it in her home. When I’m there, I sleep under it. It’s soft and snuggly.
I’d love to hear others firsts.
