    This is what I was thinking too!

    I think generally we are the hardest on ourselves. I think you've done a fine job and are waaay too critical.

    I agree! A border and binding will hide anything YOU notice. :thumbup:

    I can see it. Measure it exactly to see how much it's off square. Then trim the left side until it's straight and take the same amount off the right side even though it doesn't need it. Then you can add any borders you want to finish it. It does need a black border on the top and bottom to match the width of the side ones. If you want to add some pink and a black binding after that, it would look good.

    I had to look long and hard to find anything I thought needed tweeking. Seriously - I think it looks great! I can kinda see how it looks narrower on the top left - but I'm not sure if its my eyes playing tricks! I think the others are right - once its squared and has a binding on its going to look spectacular!

    I don't see a "disaster". I see a beautiful quilt. Just keep on squaring up as you add the borders and I think you'll be fine.
