Well done

The tip of the middle finger on my right hand hurts from pushing a needle (yes, thimbles, I know)... but my first quilt is finally done!
There are lines of stitches that look like I was surely drunk while quilting.  The binding is a little wonky in places.  I need a lot of practice to get the corners right.  But, all in all, I'm proud of my first effort.  The perfectionist in me will always see the mistakes but I'm trying to concentrate on the parts I did really well. 
My favorite part was putting together the quilt top and I think I'm pretty good at that.  I'm really excited to start my next project... but I might wait until my finger stops hurting.
