LeannM Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 I'm pretty much a beginner as far as quilt making is concerned, having first put together a quilt in 2011. I purchased a Millie in March of 2013 and really enjoy the whole process of designing, making and finishing it the way I want it. Here's a quilt I did a few months ago that I really enjoyed doing. I used it as a 52" x 52" test sew for the quilt of valor I recently completed. I had some left over prairie points from another project that I liked so I put them in the center. I have taken a Craftsy class on feather quilting, taught by Angela Walters and wanted to try it out on something. The quilt of valor went out to its new owner earlier this month. The quilt of valor had to be made bigger, more the size the Valor Foundation suggests, but I like how both turned out. The finished valor quilt was 60" x 84".

Primitive1 Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 Great job Leann! Your quilting is fantastic for a newbie! I see you are in LaGrange, I am a newcomer to TX but in looking at a map it appears that you aren't that close to Dallas... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeannM Posted February 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 Thank you, Vicki! La Grange is about 3-4 hr drive from Dallas to central Texas an hour from Austin, but you really should make a visit to the quilting museum here. It is fantastic!
