I think it turned out very pretty. I can see where you didn't think the stripes matched, I don't really care for stripes but you did a great job!

Oh, that turned out very nicely. I like the stripes too. Great Job. I wouldnt have known what to do. I have taught myself to quilt and am sure I wouldn't know where to begin given a bunch of fabric

I strongly encourage you to submit your story to be published. I really related and enjoyed a good laugh.
Ah, the fun and torture we endure for the sake of perfecting and conquering those little pieces of cotton. It's just plain hilarious, isn't it. Thanks for sharing!!

Lovely! You did a great job! There's a designer inside of you just waiting to come out! The stripe fit in quite nicely!

Wow! You certainly rose to the challenge!! Great job! I hate stripes too, but you managed to use it perfectly! Congrats on a job well done!

And this was your FIRST quilt??? Girlfriend, you've got skills!
