    I hope my first quilt is not around anymore. I am teaching myself too. Getting better with each one. DH thinks all are great. Thanks to his encouragement, I keep going. I call it my get-away place. No nerve pills for me, just my sewing room.

    I agree, all that really matters is that it was well loved. That is the best testament of all. And I love the colors, that shade of blue is a favorite of mine.

    Now having said all that, and not being critical by any means, I think if this were mine, I would enter it into the "Ugly Quilt Contest". It is all for fun, no true criticism intended, and I understand there are cash prizes.

    Stitched with love is all that counts.

    It was made with love, and that's what matters.

    Congratulations on the new addition!

    We must have been in the same class, some of my first quilts looked like that too. :lol:

    Just looks like it was "well loved" to me, and I wouldn't have it anyother way. Congratulations on the new baby!
