anytime you are sewing or quilting, and your getting frustrated..Step away from it! you will just either make it worse, or frustrate yourself to no end!
i find it helps, if i mark or make a note of my original tension settings,so i can beck to my original settings for regular piecing.
do you have other thickness of threads? you can try something different in the machine.

This is a very nice first quilt. You should be proud of it.
I find when I sew two pieces of fabric that was cut lengthways of the bolt that my seams pucker a little bit. They aren't so noticable after quilting. I prefer to sew cross grain to the length grain when I can, but can't always do that.
