Not great, but I'm still ... trying :D The quilting class teacher stated my material was very old and of cheaper quality (it was very old and probably cheaper as I bought it over 5 years ago when I was trying to teach myself to quilt). In the town I lived in, the only place to get material was at Walmart.
Here's a pic ... be easy :D
I am not great at sewing a straight line, and the cutting by hand I did wasn't great either ... but for my firt time it wasn't as bad as I thought but sure can be a lot better.
I'm open for any suggestions on doing better the second time.
Heck, I've made quality wedding gowns from fabric I bought at Walmart...Yes, the price doesn't = quality...it's the weave. A lot of sewing "teachers" think that if you don't pay premium price the fabric is of poor quality... I think your quilt is very good and the fabric is fine.
