If you let her know the stitching was bad that is what she will see every time she looks at the quilt. Once it's washed it will be even less noticeable.
I keep wondering if the quilting will hold up to what ever batting was used. Even my 1st quilt as a newbe I wanted something I could be proud of. And i remember somethin i read on this board, " People will see your quilt long after you are gone". That is why I rip, and rip and rip. and as members her say "it is your quilt". Thanks for the picture, now I too know what bad quilting is.
