Mine is a mess but, not from quilting. I have it torn apart and am going to get rid of the horrible purple that my granddaughter had because it was her br before she went back to her mom to live. Then hopefully I'll get the courage to try starting my first, yes first, quilt. The dark Barney purple in there just turns me off at the moment but when I get threw it should be nice and light and peaceful. (I hope)
