Thank you, Elaine! This was my very first time sewing anything; I wanted to learn and I thought a quilt would be the perfect project for me. I read tutorials, looked at pictures, and watched youtube videos to help me along the way. I made a lot of mistakes along the way and had to use my seam ripper more times than I can count, but I was determined to make it work. :)

I'm the least artistic person I know :o I do have an account on COLOURlovers.com, though, so I'm always playing around with different color combinations.

LOL, I'm positive! I wasn't sure if I needed to back stitch the ends of my quilting lines so I did it just in case. Big mistake! The edges are soooo messy! If you could see the chaos going on underneath the binding, you wouldn't have to ask if it was my first quilt :D

Thanks so much!
