Welcome, Mike. Your quilt is great. Someone told me that the only perfect quilt or quilt block is the one in my head. They were right. Every quilt is a learning experience for me and I don't feel bad about fudging a little here and there. Oh, and I use my seam ripper a lot too. Last time I tried to free motion, it took me 6 hours to rip out 1 hour's worth of sewing time. I'll stick to stitch in the ditch for now. Glad you joined us.
