I made my first quilt for my grand daughter ( she was three ) Figured it would be a great learning project. Ripped out a lot of stitches and learned alot. If you are adamant about not buying new fabric just keep working at it. It should get better. Your block is beautiful. I would want to get some cotton fabric to frame that lovely block they way it should be.

buy new for this project and hold on to the old stuff for a backing on a wall hanging. wash it and put it away. sometime you may want to use it to learn stained glass or something. you're a quilter. we never throw anything away.

Ok everyone! I bought the new fabric! I bought 4 yards of 100% cotton! Feels sooo much better then that other stuff. I bought alot of it because I know I will use it in other projects and I might also use it as the backing for this quilt as well.
Thank you all for your wonderful answers and support. I have come to love this group so much and I spend just as much time here as I do actually quilting!
Much love to you all!
