thanks for your thoughts. here's the error - in the end and once it's all done, any one who notices will notice. and then appreciate the hundreds of hours of work that went into simply finishing it.
and i would be sad if people stopped posting their mistakes and stopped sharing their vulnerabilities. it would make this community a whole lot colder if we did that.

Aileen, I agree with you 100%. Sometimes we all just would like a little reassurance and empathy. We don't always need terse instructions and that is obvious from the wording of the posts. You are right that this would be a colder board if people can't look for a little support. Most of us are of the "been there, done that" type and know how you feel. I also think that your grandmother will be so happy that you made a quilt for her that she won't notice any imperfections or care if she does.
