The gray quilt is together--but it's only good from a great distance. Rats!

Eleanor Burns says to "Hang it high and keep it moving!" I totally agree. Sometimes you just have to let it be what it is.
Your quilt does look great from the chair! I'm impressed that you made all of those triangles but I understand the unhappiness you're feeling. Rest assured those little blips will not show when someone is snuggled under your beautiful quilt. Just consider this one a "practice" quilt for when you make the "real" one! :lol:
And, Trust me on this, it looks much better than you're seeing right now! In fact it looks pretty wonderful.

I think that some of the mistakes made while quilting shows that it's handmade. I've had the ends not match up on my quilts before but really, no one other than me really noticed it. I don't see why you can't sell that. It's pretty and so many people love quilts.

Now go back and start on the next triangle project ! :D

Looks beautiful to me - even the close up shots! Triangles are certainly a pain in the butt, lol, but they do end up looking beautiful in the end. I think you did a great job and should be proud of this beauty! :)

No one worth their salt is going to care whether everything lines up or not, you have made a quilt and given it some character, it is uniquely your handiwork and that's what's important. Who is that said "a flaw stays longer in the mind than blind perfection"?
