I like it and so will the person you send it to. The corners were actually a really cure idea.

We're waaaaaaay too critical of our own work (as are you, lol)! I doubt very much the recipient will even notice. Give it with love and congratulate yourself on the new 'learning' opportunity.

If I've messed up somewhere along the line or if it just does not look good, I usually tell the Mom that it is a floor quilt, or put baby on it outside. Or as my daughter asked, Is this a p-- on it quilt or one for the cedar chest.

I've always used Photobucket to save my pictures. Upload your pictures to your computer, go to the site and register (it's free and very simple to use). Upload your pictures to the site and then you will see a URL that looks like [img] your link [/ img]. Copy and paste that to your post and there ya go!

Now, that is just too cute. Give it to them. They will love it and use it just as you intended, I'm sure. Do not point out the corner problem because I'll bet, they never even notice it.

I think it's adorable, but if YOU'RE not happy with it, don't give it as a gift. Donate it or save it for when the baby visits you, so you'll have a quilt for them to play with. Anyway, I've found that if I don't like something I've made, I don't feel happy about giving it as a gift.

I would sure give it to them. It is so cute. The corners came out different because of the number of squares you used in the border. That would be hard to figure out..

I really think the quilt is very cute, and wouldn't change anything. But....if you wanted to fix it....you could take off the binding on the corners and rip out the quilting enough to free up the corners....take enough off of the border to add a cornerstone in a contrasting fabric (not one of the two colors currently in border).....then it won't matter where the border pattern ends up....stitch it all back together, quilt again, and put binding back in place. You will have a quilt that has that "finished" look. It would be a lot of work, but nothing complicated.
