Welcome, you've joined some of the finest quilters in the world. Anything that you need help with can be found here. I'm not being facetious, if there is a problem there is a quilter on this board that can help you. First of all congratulations on starting the quilt, my first one was just scraps and I muddled my way through it. I agree with the majority on removing the stitching you have already done. Do use a walking foot, it will make a huge difference. SID is the way to go in the beginning, but do begin in the middle and work your way out. Your little one will find so much love in her quilt that there is no way she will ever be chilly. Oh, a seam ripper is without a doubt the best tool a quilter can have in her arsenal. Please post a picture of your finished quilt, it is going to be gorgeous for sure.
