Briskgo, for what it's worth, here are my thoughts. I do a lot of my own quilting, and I always think it's not as good as a "pro". So I know where you are coming from. BUT, your quilt is wonderful, just the way it is! You do not have to make any excuses. The quilt is fun and happy, and so is your quilting. Nothing about the pattern says the quilting should be perfect. The quilting police should get off their horses and stop to admire your fine work.
