I just learned how to make those "leaves" they are called
Celtic leaves. It is fairly simple and, done right, they look pretty good. I also know how to make hearts but I like the leaves better...they still look a little like hearts LOL. I think the bottom thread should match the rest of the piece. Looks like she ran out of the maroon and decided to just finish it up with whatever she had on hand. Lesson learned...don't pay for it if you're not satisfied.

But to get to where I am now, it took quite a bit of time and practice.
Tension can make or break a quilt. It is obvious she had issues with her tension. I never would have been satisfied letting that out my door.
I am at a loss as to advise you what to do. Did you see her work before you became her customer? Did you discuss this before you paid her? If you did not she may have thought you were satisfied. This may be one of those times where you just take it out and have it redone by someone else and just not go back to her again.
Please let us know how you resolve this. Sorry I can't be more help.
