I'm certainly not a pro at quilting, I just love making them. Please do not feel like yours are "not up to par" because they are. We just love sharing and appreciate the comments and suggestions of others that love this craft. They inspire me and they will you too. Just look at the pics. Some of the simple designs really turn out the preittiest. and I have decided that simple machine quilting is best for me as I will enjoy the talents of others. And the biggest plus is the wonderful compliments you get, makes you feel very special. Look forward to seeing yours in the future !!
