Okay I agree, that doesn't look like a first quilt to me (you can see mine off there in my avatar).
As for the other two I would be mad if I had that much extra fabric. It eats me up when the amount of fabric required is clearly not right. There is such a fine line between "oops - I have to recut this part" and lets have so much fabric leftover we can make another quilt. :( If that's quilt store quality fabric, you're paying a huge chunk of money for it.
I have shown animals in 4h so we were always a bit protected from the who you know problem, and while I love my first quilt I know it would never compare to your photos let alone the real thing.
