Not only is it a very pretty quilt (I love the colors), but the quilting looks good too. Sorry you had to stress it so much, but now it's done and I know your DD will love it!!

I think it looks great! It doesn't look like you had a problem with it at all. Good job!

Looks good. Now you are a real quilter.....sew, rip, sew. We all have been there, but look how much you've learned.

Your quilt is beautiful. I had the same problem with my second quilt but I wasn't brave enough to try hand quilting (i have carpal tunnel) so i had to stick it out on the machine. It was a queen size bursting star design and it seemed like every star I had to tear out one point or another. In the end though, it is all so much worth it. Just think of every stitch as a kiss and a hug from momma. :-)

Wow! You really got a ton of lessons on one quilt! It looks very nice and love the colors.

Your quilt is terrific! Isn't it amazing how we learn from each project -- although it's sometimes pretty painful! After some of my recent frustrations I'm wondering if I should do a mini-quilt version (like pillow size or wall hanging size) before tackling any new project, so I can learn the nuances BEFORE I've sewn in the mistake a thousand times.

Anyway, I love your finished quilt!
