Every quilt has oopsies. I love your choice for a first quilt, the colors are great. I really enjoy putting the binding on. It's one of my favorite things to do. I guess it means I'm done and ready to move onto to he next project.

mamatobugboo. I made the turtle quilt from a kit by The City Stitcher Quilt Collection by Janet Miller #27 Turtle Travels. I did not do the border that was shown because I have issues with triangles ending up where they are suppose to.It was my first time at paper piecing and the first turtle was quite the challenge. I had a hard time getting my head around the paper piecing, I should have done something a little simpler but it all worked out ok in the end. I sent you a pm.

It looks wonderful. You did a great job. I don't see any oopsies, besides I say those make my quilts unique.

Renee--you did a great job on your first quilt.

I love doing binding. It is about the only hand sewing I do anymore. My favorite part about it is that it means my quilt is almost finished. :-)
