Congratulations on quilting something for you. You may be new, but you have accomplished something many of us havent been able to do for years. Seems like every time I think "this on is for me" someone else comes along and "needs" it more than I do. Just keep stitching and enjoying your hobby, that is the important part. As for the boo-boos, someone once said, "If you can see it from a racing horse, stop, and redo it...otherwise just keep going" or something like that.

I am sure if you look closely you can find all my boo-boos. Some of the squares arent perfect, some of the rows are a bit crooked, and of course it could use more quilting.
But let me tell you I am dang proud.......this is called Saddle Tramps and since we raise Appaloosas, and consider ourselves saddle tramps, it seemed perfect.
It was the first time I used a rotary cutter, first time I tried a quilt out of a pattern, and the first time I made something for "us".
My sweetheart loves it and he is sooooo supportive....

put them in a container, and save them for a "scrappy quilt"

You did good for your first try. I'm sure mine didn't look this good. Happy stitching and many more quilts in the future.
