Hand (as well as machine quilting, I'm sure) definitely takes practice. If you have wonky left over blocks from other projects, just use them for your practice/starter sandwiches. Even just plain pieces of fabric front/back w/batting. I wouldn't bother taking out stitches from a practice block - just make another one.

Good job. Just keep plugging along and don't let any quilt police discourage you. I hand quilt and my stitches are not always even, sometimes they turn but I just keep going and most times I am happy with the outcome and that is what is important.

I am self taught hand quilting, with many questions and much practice I am now pretty good. I am my own critic.... You did pretty good for 1st quilting....My first question was how to hide knots and I asked lots of people and got many answers. But I know now how to do it... just ask this board if you having any questions.
