My first quilt top wasn't so great. I pulled it out this year to take it to someone to have it quilted. I found a couple of open seams. The back of it was covered with threads and the seams weren't even at all. It wasn't until my second queen sized quilt (log cabin) that I could sew a quarter inch seam. That's a biggie---knowing how to sew a quarter inch seam. I bet you figure it all faster than I did. The old saying may be true for you: practice makes perfect. In my case it is: practice makes for a big improvement. :)
