Won't accept my code

It won't accept my code even though it is:

h1 {

font-family: 'Open Sans', 'sans-serif'; }

Am I missing something?

You only quote values if there's a space in between them.

h1 {

font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif;
 }

Remove the quotes from around sans-serif.

You also need to use quotes for font names that contain "digits, or punctuation characters other than hyphens"
