I love your colors. Keep at it...you'll get there. Not far to go now.

Jennifer, it looks good to me and like a real challenge for a beginner. (I'm one of those, too) I like the contrast of the fabric you chose, too. It's been my observation from my limited experience quilting (I'm on lap quilt #3) that you just continue to learn and modify your "skills" as you go along. And, I've done my share of ripping and yelling. But, I'm mostly self taught with the help of the experts on this board. One of these days I want to take some classes.

Looks good to me...
remember some of those points will 'square up" with the 1/4" seam allowance.

Thanks everyone for the wonderfuls comments :) I really like this block and think I will make a full quilt with it. Im just not sure how to do it? Like would I just make a whole bunch of them and then put them together with or without a border? Or do I "sash" in between them? Thanks in advice, everyone here is soooooo helpful for this newbie :)

I would make a whole bunch and add a boder or 2. You could lay them out both ways and see what you like first.

Wow--you tried a tricky flying geese for your first one--you brave woman! :D It's wonderful! AND--I LOVE you color choices!! It feels so countryish! :thumbup:

You're on your way.... no stopping you now.

PS--I saw your question above--I find sashings tricky, if it were me I'd skip that idea for now. When I first started quilting I made little stuff to practice everything on--doll blankets, and my young daughter thought the smallish balnkets were heavenly. It gave me a not so intimidating piece to practice squres, borders, and bindings. So, I'd offer the suggestion to make enough squares for a wall hanging that will fit nicely somewhere in your house... and then you can get the feel for the whole project--start to finish--then keep making squares to make a quilt next.

Good luck! Let us know what you decide!! :D
