my quilt is coming together!

[Shantimama]

After years of collecting fabrics, I finally got all of teh pieces cut and have pieced together two squares. I am so excited!! This part is easier than I thought it would be. The actual quilting part has me a little nervous, though. Any tips?

You could machine quilt or tie, that's what I do. I find it less intimidating since I HATE hand sewing.

I normally machine-quilt, and for me the key is pinning. Lots and lots of pinning. I pin where all the squares meet in the corner, and about halfway between squares. When I first started I had trouble with the amount of fabric the feed dog was advancing, and this worked out better with my machine.
