I like it, think you are being to critical of yourself! It was made with love right?? Thats what counts.

I think your quilt is great. Maybe next time be sure that your basting (be it spray, pins, or sewn) is good and tight before you start to quilt. That is usually where my problem is

I'll bet once it's been washed a couple of times you won't even see the few 'small' puckers.

Give yourself a pat on the back ... you did great!

You're being too hard on yourself. It's a great looking quilt. I like the colors in it a lot!

I think it is beautiful, the colors are great. You are too hard on yourself...the quilt police only live in your head...I'll bet most would not even notice the puckers and if they do...show them the door!

I pined every square corner, I ran out of pins and had to go buy more...LOL

Thats why I dont understand why it had so many puckers, I thinking the fabric streched...

You could try spray basting next time. Since I discovered that I have had ZERO problems with puckers. It's much quicker, easier on the back and knees, and my expectation for quality is much higher than pinning. This king was spray basted and quilted on my domestic mach.

I think you are being to hard on yourself. With every quilt you make it just gets better and better. Give your self permission to be proud of your 2nd quilt, I think you did a better job then you think. As far as the puckers go, oh well, don't dwell on them, move on to the next quilt and know it just gets bette with each project. Good luck and I love your quilt!!
