Your blocks look perfect. Myfirst quilting class was also hand piecing. I fell in love with it then (20+ years ago) and still love doing it. We do period re-enactments and it is a great project to take to different events and I don't need lots of "stuff" if my pieces are cut and marked. My problem is I finish more piecing of tops than I actually quilt. That is my downfall!!! My daughters can fight over the tops when I am gone. Keep up the good work.

They are all great, the curved one is exceptional. You are brave trying such hard blocks to learn with. I learned a secret with the curved ones to make the blocks over size and sew them without pinning and then cut to size. Of, course it is hard to line them up for cutting but once you do a couple it isn't too hard to cut to size accurately. I have a 14 year old doing one and they are turning out great. She is using wild print. Can't wait to see how it looks when she puts the blocks together.

Yep definitely a beginner. I have finished another block this week, but haven't gotten around to taking a photo of it. I will hopefully do that tonight.
Thank you again everybody for all of your lovely comments, it is nice to know I am doing a fairly good job. :D
