Personally, I would keep my first quilt, no matter what. I like knowing that I have the first quilt I made. It was quite an accomplishment, I thought, though, looking back at it now, it is sort of primitive. Still, I like having it.
I was told by a quilter when I started to keep my first quilt and to keep track of how many quilts I had made by writing the current number on my calendar. I have heard many quilters wonder how many quilts they had made, and, thanks to that advice, I know how many I have made...and I have my first quilt. I am on quilt 74 and I still learn something on each quilt I make.
