Wow...that looks great for your first time. I'd never know it was your first time if you hadn't told us. Well done!!

Looks good!

Good first try! Your quilting lines are pretty evenly spread out and don't cross. Keep up the practice to improve your own comfort level. And remember that you may always be harder on yourself than your quilting will warrant from others.

Your practice piece looks very nice. They say it just takes practice, practice, practice. Great start.

I'm with Alva. Looks like you have the knack and that I will enjoy seeing your projects. Please keep posting!

Thank you everyone! I got busy so I haven't practiced anymore yet. I plan to break out my extra fabrics to practice in between working on my quilt so I will be more comfortable to try it out for real when I am done!
this is such an addictive craft. So much to learn and try!!!

they really are the best. All they ever want is some love and food lol. Even better for me, I have small dogs so they love blankets! So the few quilts I have made they love to test out for me haha

Your first try looks much better than mine! Keep up the good work.
