You did a wonderful job on your first block. After a few more, you will be whipping them out :D:D:D

Love your colors and block.
I am a new quilter and everything seems to take me long too. Check this out for a quick way to me the flying geese part.

You did a nice job. I have one suggestion..when you are at the end of the pieces of fabric that you are sewing together..use a wooden skewer or a seam ripper to guide the fabric in. When you are at the end..sometimes the fabric shifts a little and you won't get a true 1/4 inch seam. The fabric seems to veer off course a little. You will get faster and more confident as you make your blocks. Keep us up to date with your progress. Love that you share the block with us.

I think you did absolutely fantastic for only an hour!!! I need to practice more because I see to go sooo slow...

That looks great. They get easier the more you do them. Your block is great and that will be an awesome quilt. Keep it up.

You will learn little tricks as you go along. The 2nd one will go faster. You did a great job on your first try.
