aw - the quilt/craft/sewing police. For the ladies who want to "see the back"? I would only let them see finished bound quilts LOL That'll drive 'em crazy! I too, worried when i forst started that I wasn't doing it right - now I want it to please ME - and if a gift, the receiver. I am not entering any contests or exhibits at this time - so. BTW - you all make me want to make a table topper just so i can use it AND serve dinner tonight on my good china!
