What a great job. I'm no expert at this either. I just started a little over a year and I'm still practicing all the time. What I like to do when trying out new designs is do a small/baby quilt for charity. It's a great way to use up left over fabric and a great way to practice. The kids don't care what it looks like, they don't judge the imperfections, they are just happy to have something of their own.
