What kind of batting did you use? And did you prewash?

You did a super job. That pattern is complicated for a 1st quilt. My 1st was a 9 patch-- no triangles -- SITD. And it took me 5 years to finish! Now I can make a baby quilt in just a couple of days. Keep on quilting. It gets easier, faster, and a lot more fun with each new one.

Great job! Love your choice of fabrics,

Thanks for your kind words, everyone! For those curious about the next quilt... well, yeah, it's already done and gifted. :) I think I just had to get over the mental block of thinking it was going to be SO hard and take SO long. I finished my first in mid-December and then had the next done by the second week in January. I'll post it separately.

glassbird - I used Warm & Natural batting. And, yes, I did prewash. I was worried about the reds and purples - rightfully so. I ended up having to treat a few of them with Retayne since they were bleeding excessively. But zero issues when I washed the completed quilt.

Great job!
