Oh love the doggies. You are doing a fine job and just remember we all started quilting the same way, as newbies.

IF you already cut all your squares,- you can sew sets of 3's, together then sew the rows together, again no inset seams!

Yes, I second this- it will make it a lot easier for you! Then you only have to sew straight lines, no "corners". Great job on your first project- I can see that your very first set of corners are lined up well, those can be tricky so good job! : ) btw, I've been quilting off and on for 15 years and I'm still a beginner, and expect that I always will be- there is always much, much more to learn when it comes to quilting! : )

Welcome to the board, and to the world of quilting. I see nothing for you to be embarrassed about. You quilt is going to be just great, don't be so hard on yourself

Welcome aboard. Doing a great job, have fun.

I did a quilt for my dh for father's day. I did about the same print and pattern, except my squares ,that you have solid color, I did a material that had types of dogs in words. It turned out fairly nice for a throw quilt.
Keep going, and welcome from Haw River, NC

It is going to be great when you are finished. I am not the most proud of some of my finished products. BUT,I enjoy doing it and I am going to continue until I get it right. LOL
