First I don't understand why you need to feel brave to post such a pretty quilt. We love all quilts here! And yours is certainly no exception. You did a wonderful job and I can't imagine not liking this quilt.
I am glad the quilting grew on you. I think a butterfly panto is quite fitting given the floral fabric motif you chose and from what I can see it looks quite nice. Would you elaborate why you didn't like it at first and why it took other people saying they liked it to get you to like it? Did you have input on the quilting design or did you give your LA quilter freedom to quilt with any design she chose? As someone taking their first steps in LAing business your reply would be very helpful. Thanks.
