    It is cute and will be well loved. My first quilt the corners didn't line up. Everyone has to have a first quilt.

    Mike,

    I've been making quilts for 20 years and I swear the ditch still moves when I try to sew in it. Your first effort is outstanding!

    [quote=quilterguy27]ROFL!! This is hilarious! Will have to remember this one. That's my kind of SITD. Maybe they should call it stitch across the ditch. Thanks for making my day!

    First quilt or not - this is a cute quilt. So cheerful. I can never stay in the ditch either but it doesn't show so much after you wash it.
