I have read all the wonderful comments. Thank you once again for all the support.
I can not wait to get this second project done so I can show you all my improvements. But, I won't point them out this time around. I am very hard on myself mainly because of childhood. But, that is ok. Our past is what makes us stronger for tomorrow. Every mistake made today, is a lesson learned for tomorrow. I do not wish to achieve perfection as I don't believe there is such a thing. But, I do strive for better.
Just a whisper in your ears. My hubby was so impressed with my quilt that he is going to try one. I can not wait for his endeavor. He is so more artsy than I am. I love his ideas. I am a plain type of person and he is such a fun creative intricate type of person. It will no doubt take him some time to do one due to his work schedule. But, I assure you. I am patiently waiting. He bought his fabric so now I wait and watch it come together.
I do not feel I could of learned to quilt before technology. I am a visual type of person. So I love the fact I have access to so many videos and written instructions with pictures.( come on who don't like pictures lol).
Have a great quilting day.

Gosh I just love your quilt. I think the fabric choices are great and the piecing is super. Don't worry and apologize about the binding. It is all good-no worries. Who ever looks at that anyway? Just enjoy your wonderful accomplishment and now you get to go fabric shopping!

You did great for a first try! My first top was never made into a quilt until last year when I made it the backing for a Mariner's quilt for my DH and I. My color choices weren't what I had intended. Instead of colonial blues, it was more grey scale. You did a whole lot better!! At least yours is pretty & not drab!! :-) I think you did great!!

A great first quilt. Just keep making them.
Sorry to tell you this, I have been quilting for 50 or 51 years and I still make mistakes. Fortunately I usually notice them and can fix them. I have made about 260 quilts and comforters, no excuse. Of course I usually don't make the same quilt very often. Some days things come easier than other days.
