After about a total of 12 hours and ripping pieces apart about 10 times, I finally finished the first block in my first quilt - a Star in A Star. It is close to being absolutely perfect, but I am going to work with it. Now only 19 more of those and I am done with that pattern block and on to the next one.

First on officially under your belt!

Congratulations and hang in there!

I am in exactly the same boat, lol, after deciding to make a quilt for my friend's 90th birthday. Well, first of all, there was a mistake in the pattern so all my painstaking efforts to cut on-point squares were for nothing. The large, pieced blocks consist of a combination of nine squares of three different patterns. Like you, I have spent all afternoon sewing, unpicking and re-sewing in an effort to get everything to line up correctly, and I am about ready to scream.

Hopefully, we will both get better with practice and spend more time sewing and less time unpicking :D

Your persistence will pay off! Keep on movin'.
