My first quilt
 

Well, it's too small to be called a real quilt but still.

The kids fell in love with it and wouldn't budge from it so the photo includes them!
Then again that may be for the best... at least then my terrible binding won't notice so much!

I made the mistake of using batting AND a fluffy fleece blanket for the backing...all that fluffiness made for tricky binding in addition to me not quite knowing what I was doing and not having internet access to check...I realised too late that I should have sewn the first pass of binding on the back rather than the front.

Oh well, the kids love it and so does hubby.

I would have been much happier with better binding but I've learnt my lesson now so that's ok.

Cute quilt and cute kids! Mistakes are to help us learn. Remember watching a baby totter, fall, get up, and totter again. Our mistakes in quilting lead to improvements. Stick with it!

Beautiful Quilt and Kids!!

Let the kids be the judge and they seem to love it. Elizabeth is correct, we learn from our mistakes.

Well the kids love it, that is all that matters.

It looks great! so cuddly!

Wow! You chose a real challenge for your first. It's wonderful...and the kids love it, which is the most important thing.

It seems that you have made some little people very very happy. A quilty hug is an amazing thing. Be proud of your first quilt...... I'm sure we all have a skeleton quilt in our closets - LOL LOL LOL.

Lovely!! Congrats on your first quilt! My kids did the same thing when I made my first quilt :D

Think of it as learning opprotunities. You stuck with it and finished the quilt; the kids love it and we think it is cute. Great start to quilting I think.
