Rules are made to be broken. Altered, and rearranged!!Thoughtless words can leave deep wounds, and I hope you realize that your opinion on colors is what really counts. I hope the teacher learned a lesson from her careless remark. I am sorry she hurt you, but look at you now!! Wow. A great quilt. (so there, teacher) May you continue making wonderful quilts to please yourself and your loved ones.
Blessings. :)
