I put this in "Main" instead of pictures because I had so many questions about it, and so many of you helped me.
I did buy the Dritz Stitch Witchery to repair a loose seam in the middle that I noticed after I was doing the borders. I also used some invisible thread to hand sew and reinforce it. That was hard to sew with! I couldn't see it! lol!
I also used the binding method shared here, (that Angel one on youtube) and I think my corners turned out great.
I also used the advice that the Warm and Natural could be spaced 8"-10".
In other words, thank you so much for your help!
I started out with a pattern in this book: backyard bird quilts, Jodie Davis, ISBN 10: 089589-178x 13: 978-0-89689-178-4
I was lost at times as she did not give the finished dimensions for each block that was pieced together (you may remember me complaining about it). I had to splice in more fabric to make them fit together.
We tried to take a good picture of it outside, but it's cloudy, and I have a 10 year old camera, so it looks dark.
Anyhow...... thanks for your encouragement and advice. I think it's pretty nice for my 4th quilt ever, and I've only been sewing for about 1.5 yr.
