It looks great!!!!! I have a 5 1/2" work space too and know what you're going through. Take breaks, be sure to breathe and keep up the good work! They'll love it and as others have said, unless you point out the sections you're not pleased with, no one will ever know.

Looks like you are doing a wonderful job on it. Pretty quilt.

i could only hope to do such a nice job - i agree that you are being too hard on yourself and most likey only seeing your mistakes.... take a step back and look at your accomplishments .. this is good quilting!!

We are often our own worst critics. I'm sure your parents will love and cherish this quilt. Put it away for a day or two, then take a fresh look at it. My bet is that it will look better to you in a couple of days.
