I think we all agree that it is not the fancy machines, perfect thread, expensive fabric and other things that are too many to list that makes the quilt beautiful. We all do the best we can with what we have to work with. Your avatar is beautiful and if that is an example of your work you should be very happy with the quilts you make. That is a beautiful quilt. Seams to me like you have a lot of challenges in your life and it is wonderful that you still have time to quilt. Hugs to you. Lorraine
