I totally agree with the comment about the constant reminder. Your quilt looks great and your points are just fine. I think washing and drying make little imperfections just disappear. As my son says, " It's handmade" . We are not machines, that's why our quilts are soooo charming!

I totally agree. Your quilt is lovely and being pink is enough significance of the breast cancer history. The ribbon reminder is not necessary and maybe even hurtful.

I think your points are just about perfect and tell hubby that I agree with him....the one ribbon says it all along with the colors in the quilt. BTW, I've never seen a ribbon with a heart center......nice!

Looks great, she will be thrilled. A gal once told me to cut a little larger and trim down for perfect points and seams. As a quilt shop owner and many show wins, I listened. It is the little things experienced women or men tell you that makes each task easier. Thank you for your quilt picture.
