I think the quilt looks great. But I know what you mean, I just finished the family reunion quilt for this year's reunion. I swear I took two steps forward and four back while making the darn thing. This quilt was emotionally draining, essentially because it was in memory of my sister who passed away 2 years ago in Sept. The family loved the quilt though, even though it wasn't quite finished and they only had pictures on my e-mail.
