Well done, keep up the practice. You will soon be designing your own blocks and quilts.

You did a good job, try to even the intersections up a little more. Just trying to be helpful, it takes a while to get it all figured out.

Watch Eleanor Burns' show or videos. She great at "marrying up" her seams. But, don't stress out over it. When I look at some of my first attempts your's looks professional! Some of my corners were 1/4" or more off. Watch all the tv shows and videos that you can, read, take a class at a local fabric shop, etc. It's a great skill to learn and pass on to future generations. I personally come from several generations of quilters and can't wait until my daughter shows a little more interest. Somewhere on here is a "Newbie" helpful hints thread and it's pretty good if you can find it.

Beautiful work! I started quilting a year and a half ago, and I'm hopelessly hooked. And prolific. I've been finishing a quilt a month. I'm disabled, and so lots of time to sew.
