I am not a very good quilter and I dont want my partner to say"Never joining another swap if I could get her again) :(
SIGH not sure what to do ...send bad quilt and then try to make another one later i guess. It took me long enough to figure out what I wanted to do, find a combo of fabrics I was satisified with and now messy quilt. I am soooo sorry.

I hand sewn mine... and I had a hard time with the binding (first quilt) I just used buttons to "tie it off". I washed it and i think it shrunk a little... and I think two spots may have came up from under the binding... but I'm not sure... so don't worry too much!!!
