I love this quilt, warts and all, and it will be on my bed as soon as I have taken it to get long arm quilted. I like things to be as near to perfect as they can be but quilting has been a great way for me to learn that it actually doesn't really matter, most of the time its only me who sees the mistakes. I love quilting and if I could I would quit my job and do it full time. I know the more I do the better I'll get and can't wait to start my next project!!!! :P
