You did a GREAT job!!!! I remember my first time. And I proudly display it every year at Christmas, and everyone loves it. So don't say this is ruined, it's a work of art. And remember, you're not suppose to look at a quilt from 3" away. 3Ft. is the distance.
I am trying to perfect my quilting, and there are a couple good books out there to help. I love this book: Guide To Machine Quilting by Diane Gaudynski. Here is a link to it on Amazon:

Keep up the GREAT work, we want to see more!!
