You'll be surprised at how proud you're gonna be with your 1st quilt.My 1st 3 were so wonky,so off center & just about every thing that could be wrong, was wrong.
But you know, when they brought them back from long arm quilter,I had tears in my eyes.They were all so pretty....& I was so very proud that I'd stuck with it, learning from mags & books.
Someday,you'll realize just how much you love that 1st quilt.Enjoy it.....just do whatever looks best to you.It's gonna be a beauty.
