Your work is beautiful. You have a great eye for color and combining fabrics. I'm so glad you're enjoying- and using your first lap quilt. I'm still using my first one, too. Although it has many mistakes, it shows how far I've come and reminds me of the passion I first felt when I started quilting. My philosophy is that each quilt is a snapshot of what I'm capable of at the time. As long as you continue to challenge yourself, you're learning and mastering the art.

You're off to a wonderfully good start with quilting. If you have fabric left from your "too narrow" lap quilt, you might consider taking the binding off (I know, I know) and enlarging it. Or not. Sometimes done is best!

Nice job. I finally pulled my very first quilting project out (a small baby quilt) and finished quilting it. I had started it in a class maybe 15 years ago, finished the piecing, and got some quilting done before life got in the way. It was dreadfully pieced with uneven seams and wobbly borders, but I love it! It is a great example of how far I have come, and besides, when it was quilted and washed a lot of the imperfections get hidden LOL! I am just waiting for a special little girl to be born who I can give it to.

Your quilts are great. A word of advice, you may see any mistakes you make as gigantic ones with neon signs; but they truly aren't. You need to lighten up and give yourself credit where credit is due. I've been guilty of the same thing, however, please be kinder to yourself.
