Blue Ridge 1600 Florida Style

I wanted to try my hand at machine quilting, so my husband bought me my first sewing machine, a manual Brother. A friend recommended I watch the jelly roll race on You Tube. I did. I decided I was going to make my very first machine quilt for my mom, who lives in northern Florida. I found a jelly roll that sang Florida and my mom, and set out to finish my very first machine pieced and quilted quilt. I had not learned how to use my quilting foot or how to do free motion, so my quilting is straight line. I had also not learned how to do bindings very well, but my mom loved it and uses it all the time.
