When I teach, I will make suggestions, teach techniques, and help with any problems, but as far as fabric choices and design, I tell my students " It's YOUR quilt, you can do what you want!!!" LOL
Your quilt is beautiful...if you have not named it...I have a suggestion. After the song "I Did It My Way". I would do a label with the name before I showed it to the teacher. I think it is great to add one's own twist to their work!
