midwife, that's great progress with putting together those rows!
And so many first-time grandbaby quilts, something must be in the air
I had to fight with the tension for a little while (unpicked a whole row, d'oh) after refilling the bobbin, but I just finished my second ever quilt top!
I had less than a quarter yard left of a fabric I love, based on Monet's brush strokes, so I made 4" Sawtooth Stars and put them in the sashing between 6" blocks, at random-ish intervals. Oh! And I made setting triangles. Probably wrong, I think the bias is on the outside edge, but it's done, and done is better than perfect.

I have a backing in mind (either a marbled look or a solid, but definitely navy), but I have no idea how to quilt it. Maybe hand quilting around the stars, to make them seem bigger/draw attention?
It's around 55 x 80 - as you can see, it fits perfectly over our bed
