This is a photo of my very first quilt. It is a baby quilt for a girl I work with. Thank god I finished it on time. I am a self taught quilter and would love some feedback.

I agree, I would not tackle anything harder than a 9 patch for my first quilt! Love the fabrics you chose - great job!

Keep the photo handy so after you have completed your 10th (20th, etc.) quilt you can look back and see your improvement. It will give you a great feeling of accomplishment!

Excellent first quilt. Well planned out, and, as others have said, pinwheels aren't the easiest to start with! I love teddies, too! Nice work!

Pretty quilt! I love the way you pieced the backing to coordinate perfectly with the top design.

That is too darling. The way you utilized the bears is wonderful. What an advance project for a first quilt
