In all seriousness you'll be fine.

Gday, my first quilt was a Camp Quality T-shirt Quilt, it is my profile pic. I did this for Kids with Cancer and it went to a little girl in South Australia who was terminal. I haven't heard from her since it was given to her. She loved the colours as did my children who wanted one for themselves. I just hope that she got a lot from it. :)

Have really enjoyed reading your stories...we all have to start somewhere.
In 1981..My first quilt was a pinwheel..the templates were cut from a cereal box. I decided to put a yellow blanket on for the back and then tied it. It was in purple and lavender calicoes.
I STILL have a stack of two tone purple pinwheels sitting on my ironing board! Only they were made with paper hst papers! I still like the look of pinwheels but have made many many lone star quilts once I learned about the greatest inventions on earth...rotary cutter, cutting mat & rulers.

My first quilt was a sampler, hand pieced in blues and cream fabrics. Hand quilted it 7 years after - it had become one of the many UFOs until then. Has had years of use since albeit a little faded.

Even then I knew to make the ties REAL big so no one could see that the corners didn't meet!!
