I've started quilting! And I have learnt a lot
- how easily safety pins go in and how to use a spoon to close them
- to double check the tension on my machine after winding bobbins
- to make sure the next area is flat before starting to sew
- that the whole quilt doesn't go through my machine arm area and to turn backwards 270 degrees instead of always forward 90
- not to worry so much and not too be so precious about it... and that if I line it up with the foot it pretty much sews itself
haha... and I am having fun.
Here we are for the progress just before I emptied a box of safety pins into it and started quilting.

Thanks everyone for the suggestion. I went with "warm'n'natural" for batting, and I ended up trying the "stitch in the ditch" method for this one. I'm going around all the coloured areas. I am not sure what to do in the wide border yet though.
I've done 4/12 blocks
