What a happy quilt! I am so pleased for you. I believe the most important thing for a first project is finishing it! You did a wonderful job...keep it up!

Nope,...I'd leave it too---it's your first one! Congratulations! Go get into your stash and start the next one :)

LOL! Ask the quilt board participants how many have NOT put the boarder on their quilts!!! You've completed your quilt and it is darling! I agree - leave the boarder. :thumbup:

Have you seen this boarder tute? I did it and it's easy to follow. Solved my boarder problems, especially the problem of getting the boarder on the quilt! :roll: :lol:

Good job

It looks great--don't change it. I still have one of my first quilts, and it's great to be able to look back and see how I have improved.

Cute! Like the colors.

I agree, very pretty and it doesn't look bad at all. You should be very proud of your accomplishment.

great job :thumbup:

They are all poofy..

Very nice work! Yes, the first is always special!

For a beginner, you are off to a good start. Your quilt is lovely.

It's beautiful. Keep the binding as is. Later it will be nice to look back on this quilt to see how you have improved. This I know.

It's great! I'm learning to like the brilliant colors so much. It puts fancy and whimsical into each piece... good work.

Awwwww what a sweet baby quilt. You did a great job.

Great first quilt. I admire your choice of fancy stitches around the border. Show us your next one won't you?

You are off to a good start. Don't be discouraged. bindings take practice.

Very cute I would leave it the way it is the first one is always the one you are most critical of (or at least I was) but it looks fine to me.

I agree with everyone else leave the binding. You should see my 1st quilt

You did a fabulous job!!!! Love the colors too.

Cute quilt-=-love the special stitches I see around..

Leave it just as it is and you will go back to it many times as your first. Sometimes my binding still looks like that. :lol:

I love it, and agree: leave it alone so years from now you can look back and see it, and know how far your skills have come!

Love your quilt and the colors are gorgeous. Personally, I would leave the binding in. It is, afterall, your first quilt.

Bindings have always seemed to be my downfall. Since I found this tutorial on Connecting Threads, I think my bindings have improved. So, I thought I would share it with you. I just took it really slow the first time with the directions written down, sitting in front of me. Sometimes I have to talk myself through things the first time. Hope this helps. :-D

Very cute- great colors!

It's fun to keep your first quilt for comparison down the road to see how much you have learned--that being said, you did an awsome job for a "first".

It is a special quilt, great colors. I agree with you and would re-do the binging. If you don't the quilt ghost will haunt you.

I really like the happy colors, great job for your first one, congratulations.

Cute as a bug, First quilts are so special.

I love the quilt. You did a great job. I think the problem with the binding it it needed to be pinned better before you stitches. Either way it is your 1st quilt enjoy the fruits of your labor.

Nice job for your first quilt, nice bright colors.
Leave the binding it will be a treasure as you grow as a quilter.

You did a good job. Everybody has a first quilt and I'd say yours is very pretty and one you will always treasure. Binding is really very easy and my favorite part. There are several good tutorials on binding on line, take a look see and you'll be ready next time.

Very nice!

It looks so snuggly!! Love the bright colors.

This looks great, my first had a block turned the wrong way!

Love the colors. If you are happy with it that is all that matters. Quilt police are not allowed!

Pretty, bright colored quilt. Looks good for your 1st quilt. Thanks for sharing it.

wow that is way better than my first quilt.. way to go.

CONGRATS ON YOUR 1ST QUILT - Love your colors L. Don't try to change it - always be proud of your work. On future quilts you will remember the little things you thought you should change & will have learned from them. In years to come you will have it to see how you've grown in your new talent (& you WILL grow)

Many blessing & welcome to the quilting world - you will soon be an "addict" like many of us here. Hugs

Great job, awesome!

I love the colors. I embroidered my first quilt together because I didn't know about quilting???? lol
