My First Baby Quilt

This is a baby quilt I made for my daughter's friend.  I originally got the pattern for it off the internet.  I had so much trouble understanding the directions, I only had it basted by the time of the baby shower. I wrapped it up "as is" and explained I needed it back to finish.  I knew I needed help getting in done and there was no question that I had to finish it .  Sooooo, I went to a drop-in sewing class which is held every Tues a.m.  The teacher looked at my directions and put them in the trash.  I basically had to start all over, but it was worth it.  I learned a lot - my biggest surprise was that the binding was to be hand-sewn!  I actually enjoyed it.  I'm going to keep going to the class and make more baby quilts, till I get it down. I'm really pleased with it.
