My first quilt? A small lap sized Storm at Sea more than 30 years ago.... I finished it - the points are not great, my fabrics didn't contrast enough, the hand quilting stitches are quite large. I love it and in fact I am using it right now!! And I do know that IF I knew then what I know now - just to eliminate a lot of frustration - I would never have started with that pattern!
Aszule - that fabric is fabulous! Welcome and good luck on starting your quilting adventure!
