Star Quilt-Along: Picking fabric & Block 1

i'm going with a picnic theme for my stars quilt
red gingham with ants being the fabric for the back, and the grass as the binding.

i had to draw out the instructions - no printer,
and not interested in relocating either the laptop
or the "sewing area"

getting down to it...

block 1, just in time for the second one!
a little wonky, but for my first block, not bad!!!
i'll probably have to redo it at some point, notice the left hand side...oops!
