True Quilters Please Ignore

I have seen a lot of quilts that I have fallen in love with recently, and decided to give it a try. Turns out, I am NOT much of a quilter. Luckily the one I made is for Addie's little bed and #1 she doesn't care what it looks like and #2 Since it's smaller I won't feel as guilty when it's time to upgrade beds.
I really liked all the colors and fabrics I picked, but I didn't really follow a pattern--I think that was my first mistake. I also learned that I do much better with smaller projects--I was totally bored halfway through and just rushed to finish, and now that it is finished, I am already saying, Oh, I wish I would have had a little more patience and done it this way instead. Lesson Learned!
I did like how her pillows turned out though. For the pink felt pillow, I followed these instructions.
And I was super excited about this flower because I learned how to cut fabric on my cricut--very exciting day at our house!
And I made this dresser cover too--but it is so uneven it's ridiculous. I kept trimming it smaller and smaller and finally gave up--it's for a 2 year old who doesn't care. I know it's going to bug me every time I look at it, but I am sick of working on it! Needless to say, I think I am done quilting for a little while!

I can't imagine what you'd be able to do if you WERE a 'true' quilter! So, so cute!! By the way, what are your settings to cut out fabric on the cricut?
