Thanks to all of you who have helped me see that a quilt made with love (even if it doesn't last 100 yrs.) is better than not making a quilt. My grandchildren are waiting for their own quilt and I'm sure they will love it. I'd rather they use it up than put it away and never look at it. Perfect has it's own set of problems!
