Your quilt is beautiful.Very beautiful.I was wondering how you get your rows to match up so nice?I have made a small one and I used my seam ripper a lot. I'm a little scared to try a full size. Any help is appreciated.FayZ

She'll be adding a binding the same color as the border.

So the pinning and putting the side with the most "baggy bottoms" on the bottom side when sewing helped to ease in the fabric. A couple of small puckers but nothing that was really noticeable. I'm teaching her to quilt, so its best to start out with good habits such as pinning and checking your seam allowance every time. Hope this helps.
