    Here are two pics of a quilt I hand pieced over the summer but set down. I started back up over the weekend and am hand quilting. It is roughly twin size and has a blue border and blue backing. I am using chalk so that is what you may see in the pic.

    I have never really sewn before except maybe to add buttons so things may look a bit off.

    The last pic is a square showing by stitching. I have 21 squares done out of 150 (plus the border to do). I may add a smaller diamond in the larger diamond later.

    I think your quilt is beautiful! You chose great colors, and when you get it all quilted I think you will be very pleased!

    Looks great! You're doing a fantastic job. Are you sure you have never sewn before?
