After reading "That Dorky Homemade Look" I started feeling a lot better about my work too. And letting it go once I give the quilt to someone. My first "I Spy" quilt was the hexagon and triangle style and I did the SITD style quilting. Between dithering over matching the points and quilting, it didn't help that I was giving to a member of the church and the church has a large group of quilters. The mother of the child was not a quilter, but very active in the church so I was very worried some of the master quilters would see the quilt. So much so, I almost didn't give it to her. Then I went to a walking quilt show in Redlands CA and there was a quilt like the one I made. And that person had the same issues I had struggled with and that person had it on display. Suddenly I was much happier with how mine turned out.
