I know one of my friends has a quilt with WONDERFUL hand stitching, and I commented on it, and she said it was because she ripped out and redid it until it was right. But that's the only one she's ever finished.
You know what I think it is? You started with machine quilting - small, even stitches, that are nicely stuck beside each other. The leap to hand quilting is really quite different in how it looks...not what you're expecting, or hoping for. Or at least, that's why I think I am so bothered by it...
