It all sounds so good, but you havent seen my quilt tops yet. I am a beginner and do have some small inperfections like points are missing etc. The one I am amost finished with is a sailboat one but unfortuately all the sailboats have the points of the boat cut off due to miscalulation of the squares for the sails but it looks ok. Dont have a way to take a picture so will have to just pick someone and send it and hope you can work with it.
