Quilting practice

I am slowly practicing my skills of cutting out squares and sewing them together, using low-stakes fabric from my stash. The practice project is a teddy-bear-scale quilt for a program the local quilting guild does.

The finished size will be around 22.5" by 28" with the binding.

EDITED TO ADD: This is way harder than I thought!!

I've pinned together the quilt sandwich and am now watching a ton of videos about how to actually quilt it.
