Leather needle? ? ? ? Those make actual cuts of the thread in the fabric. Yoiks! I hope you have changed to a regular sewing needle.
I'm glad you got started with relatively simple squares. They are beautiful !
Birthing is a good way to go. I sewed the back, batt and top together, having the back and top right sides together with the batt behind the top; leaving an opening for turning.
A good way to finish it would be to tie it. Easy to do, and if you really want to do something else later, ties can be removed before or after other quilting is added.
