Quilt number 1

The first quilt I made was from following a pattern in a book, it was machine sewed but then hand quilted which took significantly longer than I expected and the sewing was not particularly neat.  This was meant to be a gift for my nephew on his third birthday in August 2012 but did not get completed until Christmas 2012.  I loved the fabric but did suffer from not including enough plain fabric, something I am still trying to adapt to.
