Awww, thank yous to everyone for the words of encouragement. I'm still annoyed with myself for the mistakes, but I did enjoy making the quilt; in fact, I loved it all until that last moment when I realized how off center it is. Oh well, such is life!
My sister is a great photographer who offered to photograph my quilts when she comes after Christmas. She saw it on the design board during the summer and really liked it. I'm going to give it to her as a thank you for the photography help. Your comments convinced me that it will make a good gift. Thanks again for the positive feedback. You all are such good friends for challenging me to rethink my work and reminding me why we do this.
