I have bought many quilts off eBay and at flea markets. Except for a few, none are perfect. I love the look of the quilt and I would have just quilted it and enjoyed it. I agree with others about checking for bleeding, I would use a color catcher. Many people do not learn from classes or from their family, they just do it the best they can. I think this quilt is quite pretty even if the points are cut off.
