You are doing great! I just finished my first one also and I am hooked.
One little hint: if you quilt 1/4" away from the seamline you have the guidance of the seamallowance to quilt along (you feel it with your fingers) and best of all, you have to go through one or two layers of fabric less. Depending whether you pressed your seams open or to the darker side.
And the best of all: you stop dreaming of a longarm with frame :lol: :lol: handquilting makes the quilt so much softer.
Happy quilting and I look forward to see the competed quilt.
