Most of us have made mistakes in quilting.I use everything as a learning experience.We all have to learn & sounds to me as if the quilt you made is fine.Remember,when quilted, it will look better.I'm sure your kids will love anything
"made by Mom".

Congratulations! You made your first quilt: small pieces of fabric, sewed together in a pretty pattern, sandwiched with other fabric and batting to form a beautiful and warm cover for your child, all done with love in your heart. So what if it's not perfect! It will be loved and cherished.
Enjoy your new quilting hobby!

Aw, the beauty in the quilt is that its a HOMEMADE gift of LOVE! It doesnt have to be perfect, you made it, and I am sure your kids will love your quilts, perfect or not!
With each quilt you will get better!!!!!!!!!

Congratulate yourself on completing your first quilt. Not many people are able to do that. The first anything is always a learning project. You were building your skills and now you know how to make the next one even better. If none of this makes you feel good about your accomplishment, remember what my daughter always tells me "Mom, nobody but you will even notice. They will be too busy sleeping under their new quilt"

I have made several quilts and not all of them were square. I gave them to family and friends and not one of them remarked about them not being square. They loved the fact that it was made with love. I happen to like them long enought o cover the pillows and just wide enough for the bed. RECTANGLE shapes work great.

Are you saying it is rectangle instead of square, or are you saying it is lopsided?

First, how far out of square is it? Have you quilted it yet? If it looks good on the bed, I would not worry about it. If you haven't quilted it yet, consider putting a border on it.

No matter how hard I try, mine are rarely perfectly squared. I put a border on all my quilts, usually about an inch wider than I really want it to be. Then once quilted I can "square up" the finished top. If the border is a tad narrower in one place it doesn't show and when the quilt is folded it is nice and square. Please bear in mind, I do not make show quilts and intend for mine to be used.

You said the seams line up and it looks good on the bed.

Sounds good to me!

I doubt that it will be a problem. but you could "block" it if you want. you'd have to soak it and spin the water out, remove the quilt and then lay it out flat somewhere. if outside, lay a sheet down first. then measure across it and pull it to straighten. if you have a large ruler, use that in the corners.
usually you check corners before binding. next time!

Why must it be square? If your blocks are not square but more rectangle then it won't be square in the finish. Does it fit the bed? Then it is ok to me.
