Here it is, my first ever quilt top! There are a few oopsies but overall I am very pleased with it and my son, whom it is intended for, loves it. I'm excited to get it quilted and get the binding on (okay I'm not excited about binding it but I'm excited for it to get completely finished).

Well, I can't see your "ooopsies". Looks like your off to a great start. You will be soooooooo happy when it's done. We are supposed to enjoy the process as much as the finished project. Yeah, I don't much like doing the binding either. :x

Thanks Jackie. I've never bound anything so I'm quite scared of that part! I'll be doing more research on it before I begin.

Oh it looks gorgeous!!! You did a great job. And don't believe binding isn't fun to do, that is actually my very favourite part, because it's then being finished :) :) :)

What a nice job you did! Hard to believe it's your first! You'll have fun finishing that beauty! I'm sure your son will encourage you along! LOL! Make more!

:D Good job! Advice on binding: practice on some potholders first. Easy and fast to do and if you goof, sew what? At best, you will have new potholders, at worse, you throw it out. Try QuiltersTV for binding tutorial.
