I am so pleased with myself that I can barely stand it!

I haven't checked to see if they have "corrected" this pattern. I made one from Northcott's website and the instructions said to start stitching at the same side all the way through. I questioned that at the time, wondering if I'd end up with a curve. Sure enough, I did. Toward the end of the process, I had a big curved piece. I believe it works better to alternate, starting at the other side on each row. It helps keep the rows straight.

Your quilts are beautiful. I am sure your friend will love her quilt, but don't count on the cat. Just because you want the cat to love it and use it, is all the more reason why he/she won't. We just lost our cat that was nearly 20 years old. Over the years I made her any number of "special" beds, quilts, etc. She chose to sleep on an old bath towel instead. Just saying, don't feel hurt if the cat sniffs it and saunters away.

Just to be safe, I will alternate the next time I use this pattern. I am writing that on the instructions so that I don't stop and wonder about it.

Thanks for the head's up!

That's beautiful, and I LOVE the title of your post! So often on this board all we do is bash ourselves... saying I could have done this better or that better. In fact, I was about to post something negative about a quilt I just finished - but now, I'm not going to! I'll post a picture of it later and focus on the fact that it's finished!! Thank you.
