    Default Biggest challenge so far...

    Yes, this is probably one of the simplest quilts- basic blocks. For me though, it was a huge challenge psychologically. I guess I am way more OCD than I ever realized. I need organization, symmetry. This was my very first scrappy- a baby quilt made of pieces of fabric from someone else's stash. The back is an old panel I had, and I was so focused on the front that I did not get it centered before quilting. Don't look too close. I love it, but don't know if I can do another just yet. The Sylvia's Bridal Sampler BOW is doing it for me right now. Thanks for looking.

    I think you did a great job. The first quilt is the most difficult. There will be many more days of frustration in the future but everything works out. Keep at it, that is what we all do. This will a delight for a baby.

    Very cute! Congratulations on coming out of your comfort zone. I also like more of a coordinated palette.
