You will get better with each quilt. I watch lots and lots of you tube videos on techniques and have gotten pretty good.

Carpenter's Star is next. Yep, definitely addicted! I must say the most difficult part for me was the binding. If you saw the close-ups of that you'd cringe. Yeesh. I'll definitely have to practice that on smaller squares maybe.

On a Fons and Porter episode last week on our local PBS station the guest mentioned how she keeps her very first quilt beside her machine so she can see how much she's improved with time.

I think your quilt is adorable and you started out with a difficult project.

WOW! All those half square triangles look great! That is not any easy patch to make and you've done a very good job. Congratulations!

Very nice for a first quilt. We generally learn from our mistakes and don't give up, you did well for your first quilt.
