I love it. Good job. Some day I will learn to step outside the box too. Colors are great.

I like this---nothing ghastly about it in my opinion. Nice work!

You are being toooooo hard on yourself. Love the colors. Put it together and be proud of your work. You are your worst critic, but you shouldn't be. Great job!

Am not really sure why you are knocking yourself down on this quilt. It is wonderful and it doen't look like it would be your first one ever. You did a great job on the flying geese and there are many easy ways if you look up flying geese on google you will find some really easy ways to do them and they wouldn't take long and you wouln't have to spend the extra money on a fancy dancy ruler. JIMVHO. Please finish and show it off. Nice job!!!!

I like it! For some reason it gives me an antique feel! I think you did great for your first quilt!!!

I'm a fairly new quilter as well, and find that my projects never turn out as I envisioned them. I think I'm color challenged.
This quilt looks very nice to me, but I am wondering why the stars recede and the white triangles dominate. How would you choose and place colors if you wanted the stars to dominate and the triangle pattern to recede?

Wow, this was your first? Absolutely stunning, has a very Zen-like, serene quality, a beauty to be treasured.

I really like it. So if you want to get rid of it, send it my way. If this is your first time with flying geese, then you have done very well. My first was not as nice. I love the coloration you have done with it. It shows off the stars and squares. Keep up the good work. You will get better as time goes on. None of us are total masters of the art. We all just like to have fun and you did good.

For a first quilt, that is quite an accomplishment. You need to pat yourself on the back. I took the easy road for my first one, a three rail. You just jumped into the deep end right off the bat and did a great job.
