I think it's a great quilt. I think it's very sad when someone, especially a teacher make a crushing comment that keeps us from valuing our own judgment. My youngest brother was a budding artist, drawing perfect renditions of Disney characters, the teacher accused him of tracing the drawings and he never drew again. What a waste of a budding talent. I always envied his ability to drawn. In the future, if someone offers a comment like that, tell them thank you very much for your opinion, but I like the colors I have chosen, and hey, your son might just love the quilt the way it is.
