I really appreciate all of the support! Yesterday, I wanted to quit.....I was feeling that they were good enough to give as a gift, but the friend who will be getting them is very gracious and I know they will mean a lot to her. I have to keep reminding myself that I am just beginning and the Rome wasn't built in a day, right? I'm hoping to post a pic of one completed one today. I've decided to put my own binding on instead of bringing it around from the back. Thanks again for all your kind words! They mean a lot to me as a new quilter!
