Let the fun begin. Remember it takes practice, practice, practice. I look at some of my first quilts to see how much better I've gotten and am still improving and hope I always will improve. To practice I use two layers of whatever, plus whatever leftover batting I have. When I am done I cut the practice in pieces, then I can practice my binding. Actually I took the odd shapes to church and we use them on our long tables for hot foods. Saves on all the dish towels we used to use.
