I have been working on this off and on since last winter, fianlly got it done. I learned a lot, mostly that I don't think I will try to quilt the Quilt of Valor I made. I put too much money into it to ruin it with my quilting. I have some small ones to do, then may have more confidence. I did notice that my stitches improved somewhat towards the end in that they were more even. This makes me appreciate the longarm quilting I see on the board even more than I already did, if that's even possible. Not sure what I will do with the first one. I could bind it and give it to a homeless shelter, or cut it into pieces to give to an animal shelter.

you should keep your first one- so years from now you can look at it and remember- back when i started :)
it takes practice for all of us- when you look at quilts on the board long-arm quilted just remember- that quilter has a (first one)too- and it is probably quite different from the ones you are seeing now. everyone has to start somewhere- and we all have to practice.

And yes, I will keep it and hang it proudly in my studio.
