I am not at all complaining about the quilters work, she did just what I asked for. I should have asked to look at more of her work on quilts, that may have given me a better idea of what it would look like. It is hard to look at a pattern on paper and know what it will look like on the finished quilt. One thing I didn't expect was , there are places with 3 lines of stitching in the same place. It doesn't look to bad on most of the quilt, but there are some areas that are plain that the quilting really shows and the pattern just doesn't look good. This quilt was one of the most difficult one I've ever done, my own design, and I should have spent the money on custom quilting, but unfortunately I do not have the money to spend. My husband and I have been unemployed for awhile, though I just got a job. I thought I was ok with having it quilted this way.
