Here is my first quilt, I just finished it today. Let me know what you think.

I know that there is mistakes. My biggest problem was the binding. It looks horrible to me. I may take it off and try again.

Thanks for looking.

What a fun and colorful quilt. The first one is always so special!:)

Beautiful I love the colors.

Very pretty. I think I would leave the binding alone, and learn from it. It dosen't look that bad.

The first one is always special and you will cherish this. Great choice on the happy colors.

Well Done!! I love the decorative stitching too! I wouldn't change the binding despite any "flaws"-I love the idea of the "first quilt" staying as is-then years from now and many quilts later, you will cherish that first one, flaws and all, as the start of this wonderful hobby! You should see how bad mine was!! (I actually posted a pic of it a while back!!)

Very unique quilt! Looks like some very special stitches along the "ditches". Keep on truckin!

Cute. You may want to wash the quilt first and see what happens to the binding before you try to redo it.

I had the same thing happen to one of mine and the ripple almost disappeared after washing (enough to where I didn't care about it any more!) No QUILT POLICE to say bad or good!

Nice colors and effect of your pattern. Time to try another one!

I think you did a wonderful job for your first quilt.

Thanks for all of your praise. I enjoyed making it, and already have my next one started can't wait to to start sewing it tomorrow.

Very nice ! Welcome to the world of quilting !

Good job! I hope there are many more to come. :o)

Very nice job! I'd leave the binding - it really doesn't look that bad - and the first quilt is very special :) You did a very nice job with your piecing as well. Thx for sharing!

Very nice for a first quilt...really great colors...as for the binding...as it is your first quilt, I would probably just leave it, and learn more as you do your next one.

Very pretty and bright, great colors.

People will be so busy looking at the wonderful colors to notice a binding. I gave a beginning quilt to a friend. It was aweful. She has saved it so her son can use it for his son. She sees no flaws only beauty

Ah ha! The world of quilting has snagged another one!

Very good job on your first one! I agree -- wash it and see what happens, then decide. Only work again on the binding if it still bothers you in a month....time heals many troubles.

Cute. You did good!

Very nice job!

I think it's darling. What great fabrics. You did a wonderful job. Thanks for sharing.

Stripes are hard to do and you did them very well!! Very good!!

I love the bright happy colors and also the border colors you chose. Cute quilt!

Very pretty! Love the colors.

Beautiful !! :-)
Love the colors 11 ;-)

You did an awesome job on your first quilt, you should be very proud of it. Love your color choices. I would leave the binding on this quilt the way it is. I hope you will share your new quilt when you are finished.

The colors are so bright and cheerful. Perhaps there is a tutorial on binding here on the board. I know I cut 2.5 inch strips and fold them in half lengthwise. Then I sew the raw edge to the raw edge of the quilt and wrap the binding around to the other side. Hand or machine stitch it down. Is the binding on this one double? I can't see it well enough, but it looks like a single layer and not finished on the edge. It will just fray like crazy if that is the case. Your first effort for a quilt is amazing. There is a bunch of good advice here.

You did a great job, especially for a 1st quilt.

Thanks for all of your very kinds words of encouragement. I was kind of worried about the bright colors for a baby quilt. Hopefully my niece will like them too.

I think I will leave the binding for now, and try to do better on the next quilt. Now that I know what I have done wrong, it will be so much easier..

Thanks for being so helpful. What a wonderful group of people quilters are.

I like it! If you keep it later on you will see just how far you have come! :) Love the colors!

Sweet! and good job with the decorative stitching...there will be no stopping you now...happy quilting.

This is what I would say, also. I have always had trouble with bindings, and when I look back at my first quilts, I am amazed that they are actually still together. But, I am getting better, and have to do less "unsewing" now. Keep up the good work and remember that we see our flaws, others see the beauty.

I think your hooked! Hope to see more of your quilts soon.

Great job on your first quilt!

I really like it - are all the square poofy or do they just look that way in the picture?

Nice Quilt, I won't change it.

Awesome job on your first quilt. The colors are so cheery!

I love the bright and happy colors. Good job first time out!

Very pretty. The colors are great.

Love it! The colors are so fun...

Very good job on your first quilt! I would also leave the binding, you will get better at it with every quilt. My good friend told me that if I kept ripping out what I didn't like or wasn't perfect I would never finish anything.

Good Luck and Have fun on your next one!!
