I have been quilting over 30 years and just love it. Any little boy would love it also. Don't be so hard on yourself. Next time try sashing. It is great as youngsters love "action" as well as action figures. While working, just think about how excited a little boy will be when he sees it. Just keep going knowing there will be excitement at the end. If you don't want it, I would finish it, even though I only have girls. It is sthat good. Don't stop.
