I started quilting in 1998 and of course didn't want something simple and easy to begin with. (I can't help it, I'm a first-born.) However, I did have a lot of sewing experience. I liked the idea of paper-piecing and bought a couple of books and chose the pineapple quilt to begin with. The hardest part was learning to cut my fabric pieces big enough to cover the space and still have enough for decent seams. I persevered and finished the quilt. It's hanging in my house now although it's not my favorite. I continued to paper-piece for quite a while, although I haven't done any recently. We do tend to move on, don't we?
Love, love, LOVE the pineapple quilt. Love the blues, love the pattern..... hate to paper piece! LOL what an ambitious first quilt!!! Great job!
These are wonderful, thanks so much for post them so we get to see them. I like to paper piece. What technique do you use?
