Your quilt is very pretty. (I am very partial to Christmas fabrics.)
But I had to giggle over your struggle, because I had a similar reaction to the twister quilts. People raved about how easy it was. Luckily I had watched Jenny Doan's tutorial and she said how she had a bit of a problem remembering the order too I would have thought I was a total failure. My friend and I decided to make the Christmas tree version, once we started cutting it out and sewing it back together we were going nuts. I finally finished it - but there was a lot of ripping and resewing along the way.
So glad you persevered and completed your quilt, it is very pretty.
