Looks great, keep up the good work. It definitely looks good enough to eat.

I am self taught, also. I pre-baste all my stuff, and my stitches are getting to be invisible.

My Oregon quilt was an adventure in mixed techniques. I designed the green with yellow flying geese in it, I designed the paper piecing myself. The beaver is pp also, but I had to re-scale the pattern down to work in the space. The sun/moon is hand embroidered, with a chain stitch used as a filler stitch. The lighthouse and the douglas fir are all designed into pp patterns. The fish is made from a b/white print with puff paint spread on top to make it look that way. I loved making it.
