There are no quilt police - your work is just beautiful!

Your piece is lovely but I had to chuckle at your first comment.
The pieces shrink as they get quilted and always end up smaller than they started.
I make a point of starting with my background at least 2 inches oversized all around. When it's finished I have the option of cutting off the excess or covering with the framing.
Hard lesson to learn.
You piece is very moving. I can almost hear the surf.

That is unbelievable!! I wish I had the talent and guts to attempt something like that!

Wonderful Quilt! We all live and learn, life would be so boring if we were perfect!

The quilt is BEAUTIFUL! I see no mistakes. My only addition - if I may make one like yours - is adding my two youngest sons standing on the cliffs.

I love your quilt.

Lovely wall hanging. Thanks for the reminders - the kind of thing that's easy to do.

Your wall hanging is gorgeous -- great depth and perspective. Love the sky and water fabric esp. how they blend and contrast at the same time. I wold be very proud to hang that on my wall!
I love making art quilts and wall hangings -- they grow on you.
