Well, I started over after applying tension tips and other advice here.
It looked nicer. I took Loretta's advice on starting with smaller things.
Less frustrating. Of course, there is no quilting, but I will slowly work up to that. I didn't know what to do with it, so I bought fiberfill and stuffed it. It's very plain and simple but I enjoyed learning a few things by it.

Great job!
I have turned MANY project blocks into pillows. Funny thing is...someone would see the pillow and ask me to make them one. I'd just toss the pillow at them and say...Keep it! lol

Well done - I hope this will have given you some confidence to try something a little larger, so that you can work your way up to a full sized quilt one day.
