Despite all my ranting about this quilt, I think it came out nicely. I ended up doing all the sewing myself and got it done just a couple hours before my daughter's 6th grade cruise Tuesday night. Myself and another parent presented it to the kids that night on the boat and the sound of 80 kids cheering for me made it all worth it. It was then presented to the school last night during the 6th grade graduation. I'm glad I did this, but will never volunteer for something like this again, it stressed me out to the max!
