MY VERY FIRST CUTE PINK & GERY NINE PATCH QUILT!
I made this quilt on my school break in April 2011. As you can see I love the colors pink and grey.
I love all the different fabrics that were used in this quilt. However, I cut off all the salvages for a different project which I will show you in a different post, so I can’t tell you what they are all called or who created them. My goal is to be more aware of the fabrics that I use so that I can tell you what exact ones I use in future projects.
When I made the nine squares I accidently made an extra one so I added it to the backing. I also used 2 different shades of grey fabric that are separated with a cute light pink stripe. I would have used just one grey, but I ran out of fabric. I love how it turned out.
I bound it with a aqua colored binding to finish it off.
This is one of the quilts that sits on the side on my couch and one that I will never be able to part with. I feel like it is a part of me because this is where my love for quilting started.
I had a lot of fun making this quilt and figuring out how to put it all together using tutorials that are available all over the internet. I know you can make one too! Have fun creating!

Well I must say I am very impressed not to mention inspired by what you have done with quilting!! I have only done 2 quilts my self, both rag quilts (which I love the look of) the first was a 9 x 9 (it barely covers the top of my queen bed) the 2nd was a baby rag quilt which I gave away as a gift. I too will not part with the first quilt I made as it is very special to me too so I know where you are coming from!! I am absolutely fascinated by your faux chenille queen quilt, that I am going to make it my next quilt. I can’t wait to see the finished product. I thank you for posting your work to inspire others to do the same!! HAPPY QUILTING!!
Thanks so much! I feel the same way about letting go of my quilts. I work so hard and put so much thought into them that I want to keep them. I feel ya! Haha. I would love to see your quilts. Enjoy creating! ❤️
Very impressive for a first quilt wish I had started quilting when I was way younger
Thanks Liz, It is a very special quilt to me. I would love to see the quilts that you make. Yours are so very detailed, they are inspiring.
