I followed Borntohandquilts directions on needle marking and this is the start of the first block. My stitches are not as tiny as borntohandquilt, but I'm working on keeping them the same size and looking the same on top and bottom.

There will be more quilting in this block, but this is the start. I think it will look good with the blue thread to match the blue 9 patches.
