I know exactly how you feel. I was sadly disappointed in the last one I sent out also, but she did such a good job on first too...I know she had a lot going on (she's a freind) so I didn't say anything, but will be more specific from now on with her. I thought about pulling out the stitches, but decided that nope, I wasn't crazy about the quilt to begin with, I wasn't putting that much work into it. Yours is beautiful!! Maybe it will grow on you?
