First "Real" Quilt

As a quilting newbie, I was a little overwhelmed at the prospect of making a "real" quilt - you know, with little fabric squares and ALL those colors playing so nicely together. After browsing through Jenny's tutorials, none of them captivated me as much as the disappearing 9-patch...it looked so complicated, but looked totally do-able! So I picked out fabrics in my favorite colors, and just did it!! Many points are less-than-perfect, and I really shouldn't have used solids, but it's a quilt, and I made it, and I'm very proud of it. I even wrestled the thing through my sewing machine to free-motion quilt a loopy flower pattern on it! Yes, not perfect, but not too bad for a first try!
