Hi Leah: The quilt shows me what a strong, determined woman you are. And the blocks you made for me in February certainly shows what an excellent quilter you have become! Your perseverance paid off in the long run! Stay strong....JoAnn

Omg, I found this quilt, she LOVED IT, so I guess that is all that really matters. Looking at it the points do not match, clearly, LOL, it came apart a lot, so I hand stitched, I never quilter it, I had no idea how to so I tacked it with thread. All I can do is laugh, my new baby will have a little different. And I have now made some really nice quilts for my daughter, I just cannot believe how bad this one is. Lmbo. Hope you all get a kick out of it!!!
That's all that matters..it was loved! I think you are a little hard on yourself!

Congratulations on your new baby! My first quilt looks similar. Its nice when you keep them and have something to go back and look at later.

It looks like you put lots of love in it, and she got lots of love out of it. That makes it a masterpiece in my book! :thumbup:
