Every quilt has oopsies. I love your choice for a first quilt, the colors are great. I really enjoy putting the binding on. It's one of my favorite things to do. I guess it means I'm done and ready to move onto to he next project.

Judi - I love your avatar quilt!! Is that your own creation or a pattern? And I agree with you, the binding is one of my favorite parts, so relaxing to sit on the couch and sew it instead of needing to secregate myself in my basement to use the machine!!

Great job! I'm thrilled for you... first one and off to a great start. I'm sure your son will keep you busy on it!

mamatobugboo. I made the turtle quilt from a kit by The City Stitcher Quilt Collection by Janet Miller #27 Turtle Travels. I did not do the border that was shown because I have issues with triangles ending up where they are suppose to.It was my first time at paper piecing and the first turtle was quite the challenge. I had a hard time getting my head around the paper piecing, I should have done something a little simpler but it all worked out ok in the end. I sent you a pm.

Great job!
Oopsies? Sorry, don't see them!

It looks wonderful. You did a great job. I don't see any oopsies, besides I say those make my quilts unique.

Renee--you did a great job on your first quilt.

I love doing binding. It is about the only hand sewing I do anymore. My favorite part about it is that it means my quilt is almost finished. :-)
