My first quilt!

I started quilting about 20 years ago. My girlfriend since grade school talked me into taking a community class at the local library. We purchased our fabric from JoAnns. The quality isn't great. I decided to quilt it myself by stitching in the ditch. Must has felt I suffered a sewing catastrophe of some kind because I only got about a third of the way when I folded it up and put it away. I'm on a mission to complete the UFOs laying around my sewing room and this popped up. Clearly I wasn't good at choosing colors. It's kind of dull. But, it's finished. And, for that I'm pleased with myself.

Seminary quilt

I made this quilt for the church to raffle off when they were raising money for me to attend seminary. I loved the colors individually; I'm not sure I'm crazy about them in this configuration, but no one else seemed to mind. The ladies who raffled it off made just under $800. And, one of our parishioners won the raffle which I was glad about. The pictures were taken by the winner. I was busy getting ready to leave and completely forgot to take the pictures. If/when i make another log cabin, I think I'll do some things different. Like maybe invite someone who deals with color better than me to join me in a fabric shopping exhibition!
