I think the quilt to came out very good. I bet you are glad right now that you didn't throw it away. I find it a lot more modern, because of the fabric choices, than the more traditional Card Trick quilts made of solid material. There are so many seams in it, that I wonder if tying will hold all of them together. I sometimes find that even with overall quilting, when I go to move a quilt, I sometimes pop seams. Your quilt, your choice.
