I have to agree with everyone else. I think you did a great job with your first quilt :thumbup:

What a fabulous and personal quilt, particularly for your first. Youtube is amazing for tips on squaring up etc (for next time). It looks amazing to me.

:thumbup: Looks great. You should be proud I know that your son will be. My first quilt was for my grandson and I felt that there were many mistakes. I also tied it because I have trouble getting the quilt in my machine and he loves it. He also loves touching the ties. He now thinks that I am an awesome quilt maker. (I am not but I'm working on it and I will not tell him anything different).

I think it was on this forum I found a mention of using a carpenter's metal square. I have one of DH's and did like suggested, washed it well and can now use it to help square nearly anything, wood or fabric. It covers a lot of the lap quilts
and would sure help a bigger one.

I agree, it's not really noticable. Slap on that border, quilt it up so your son can love it to shred :)

It's great! You know, everyone is allowed a mistake or two on a quilt. The Amish do it on purpose, as nothing here on earth is perfect. I love it and I know Tommy will too.
