My First Complete Quilt – Old but Pretty Good

I hear this all the time, you must be perfect with your quilt making.
Stop it !
DON’T be perfect, DO ! !
Do it wrong, do it right, but DO it. 

I started quilting years and years ago, 40+ years. This is my first quilt, I had started with pillow tops. I took a class in Burlington, Iowa. Which was taught by Liz Porter, at the time she was working for Better Homes and Garden, she taught and was speaking on the weekends. This was a bring 2 1/2″ squares, share with all, and do color graduation. a one day class.

We all start someplace, I didn’t know how to do corners or how to do a double binding. We are all new once. I love this quilt, it’s home to me, it’s been packed, moved, taken, machine washed and dried for years. I will not mend or fix anything on it. It’s like me, old but still pretty good. 

BUT, what I did know how to do was hand quilt. All those pillows I made.  Hearts in each square and straight line on the outside edges. 

AGAIN ! ! !
DON’T be perfect, DO ! !
Do it wrong, do it right, but DO it.
