Barbara, I've look at it from every angle and it doeesn't loo obvious that this was quilted in the wrong diredtion. I think it was probably an honest mistake. If you feel the quilter didn't follow your directions I would tell her and she what she offers you for a discount on the next quilt before changing quilters, unless you aren't happy with her over all work. If you feel disappointed about the quilt, gift it or donate it and make a new one for you. {{{HUGS}}}
