I finished this one over the weekend. It was so much fun to do and I'm almost feeling sad that it's done. I'm so addicted! I have 3 more quilts planned for the immediate future and can't wait to get started. There were so many "firsts" for me in the quilt and I have so much more confidence now. Thanks to all on this board who helped me through this project.

Well I think you made a great job for your first try, it certainly doesn´t look a first. Love the teddy bear quilting.
