First quilt top is done. I like how it looks colour wise. But because of my having to trim each block down a little so that all the blocks were the same size, the technical aspect was pretty bad. I am guessing that I had 20 percent of the main seams match up. So most are about 1/8 inch off.

Along with finishing, I finally learned that sewing on a machine at a lower height is best for me. I was able to see things a lot easier, and also could manipulate the fabric better, so I could get those consistent 1/4 inch seams. Today my seams were probably 90 percent on when it came to 1/4 inch.

Sorry for the poor picture. Lighting inside my house is not great, especially with the clouds and howling wind causing the sunlight to be bad.
