That doesn't always work for me as my tears blur the vision.
:shock:

That is going to be a beautiful quilt. The colors are so soothing.

I think it's done very nice! I can't see any seams not matching. Don't point them out to anyone either!

Quilting is nothing but practice practice and more practice ... till we're satisfied with the results ... and then we find something new to practice practice practice!

Rachel, That looks good! What did you do different to make it come out the way it was supposed to do? You do have some bias in some of the pieces.

What a pretty block! I love the use of the stripe. And your matchup corners look great. Be satisfied and proud! :-)
