Good for you trying something new! I am one who likes to stay in my comfort zone but have been trying to venture outside of it. I really like the fabrics you chose. The button idea is great! Please send another picture when you get it finished.

Very nice. I also like the idea of the buttons instead of quilting the whole thing.

It is fabulous. I would't worry about the 1/4". I can't see it from where I sit!

What a cute idea! I love this quilting board! So many great ideas and helpful suggestions

Love the little quilt!

Girl, you should be proud of yourself! Remember, not everyone can quilt - and look you did a beautiful piece!
