Close up on front!
Over all not happy at all with the quilt, don’t know what I did wrong but after FMQ I ended up with a lot of puckers, got mad and just FMQ over the puckers…LOL so we will use this quilt for camping trips! LOL

I think your being too hard on yourself. I think it looks pretty nice too. When you are snuggled under it keeping nice and warm your not going to be looking for puckers :)))

Looks great to me! On your next quilt, make sure the backing is taut and taped down or secured somehow before you add the batting & top. Then, pin, pin, pin!

I think it looks wonderful - I have puckers on almost every quilt I have made - sometimes they just show up -also - I find that after I wash and dry them -sometimes it helps even everything up - I think you are being too hard on yourself - I think you did a good job.

I love it. I made a scrappy very similar - stitched in the ditch and fmq in the border. Yours looks great.
