This my first true quilt square. It's a bit wonky. But I am really proud of it. It's going into a friend's quilt.

Doesn't look wonky to me - I think it looks great!

Looks quite good to me. Like the pattern.

It's beautiful and the backside is great too...

I don't see the wonky!!! And your backing is so NEAT!!!! man, mine aren't that good!!!!

that is one great block. and look at your center seams, all twirled flat. good going girl!!!

I think it's wonderful. I love the heart. You did great!

Good job, really like the pattern.

greaT JOB

Impressive! Nice job.

Looks great, I like the pattern, I agree that it's not wonky, it's a little off but with your color choice and the design, once it's all pieced it won't be noticeable

Beautiful! Keep up the good work...you are rightfully proud.

Wow! You are all so kind! :) As for the parts that do look good, I credit the fantastic tutorial resources that are on the Quilting Board. :D

i think it is beautiful way to go girl

What a pretty pattern... :D

really nice!!

I drew the design on my computer before I cut any fabric. I am happy that I achieved the effect that I did. I was going to orient the heart straight up and down but changed the orientation to diagonal at the last minute. Thank you again.

I like the diagonal placement :) I did the same thing with hearts that I hand appliqued on my DD's Valentine's Day (her birthday!) quilt. I think it adds some interest.

You did a great job on the block :) Be sure to let us see the finished quilt before you give it to your friend.

Great job....wish my first block had looked that good :-)

Where is the wonky? Be proud, be brave, be a quilter!

Wonky how? That looks great to me!!!

Wonderful! I like it very much!

I don't see any "wonk".
Very pretty!

Wow, that is an awesome 1st block! Doesn't look wonky to me at all, looks artistic!

I've given it to the person who will be assembling a quilt from the one I made as well as the ones from the other ladies in my group. So, I'm looking forward to seeing the finished quilt too.

looks great it gets easier each time

You did fantastic!

Congrats! One down, a lifetime to go - what a beautiful way to start the journey :)

You did a great job.I really like it

Perfect to me!

I love the orange! You did a great job!

Good work!!! I don't see anything wonky about it. My first 8 blocks are the curtain in front of me. They are nowhere near as good.

I do wonder, however, are you using 1/4" seams? If you are using a wider seam, as it appears to me, you will have problems with future blocks, as 1/4" is the usual in quilting.

I like it, doesn't look like a first time project. you did good.

Yeah, I realized after I sewed my first seams that I was sewing 3/8". In order to be able to finish the square without spending hours ripping out seams, I finished the square with 3/8" which also kept the square, well, SQUARE. After I finished the basic pinwheel, I measured the square at 8" by 8" so I added the border in the same fabric that I used for the heart. The border was sewn down with 1/4" seams. And yes, I was surprised and thrilled at how well the color combination worked.

It's great. Very neat and tidy.

Beautiful block!

you did a great job, nothing wonky about it. Nice and neat, can't say that about some of mine.

Beautiful. Well done.

That is exactly what I would have done. Of course, as I said, MY first block, a 9 patch, wasn't anywhere near as good as yours. I expect to see lots more really great work from you in the future.

Cute block-great job
