Quilt for Kids 2

I've been working on my Quilt for Kids quilt. I have learned so much... mostly the importance of seeing in the correct seam allowance and keeping things square.

All my blocks are together and rows sewn. I was starting to think this would never be done. When I originally sewed my orange and green fabric together, I messed up the seam allowance. I figured I could fix this along the way. I did, but it took a lot of extra work and isn't perfect. (This is my first quilt and I'm teaching myself so I'm not expecting perfection.) In hindsight, I should have taken my orange and green squares apart once I figured out they weren't right and seen them again.

I'm excited to be making progress!
