Yes, looking at the pictures I agree that the quilting leaves a lot to be desired. Even if you don't want to confront the quilter, I would take it to the person who made the recommendation. I've had my LA for a year and don't think I'm ready for paying customers! For most folks, it's a loooooooong learning curve.
I also agree with just leaving it be. Most folks will just see your lovely piecing, not the quilting, and the 'where's the duckie' idea is a hoot!
