Looking good. Don't be so hard on yourself.

I like to use an open toe foot instead of a plastic one. I can see what I am doing better. I think this quilt is quite grand!

Excellent job and your points look great!

Just a tip about tips ... punny huh? I decrease my stitch width one stage at a time as I get toward a very narrow point, turn the corner and then gradually increase the stitch width back to the original setting. It makes it a little easier to make the turn when the stitch width is wider than the point.

I think it looks good, quit worrying and keep on stitching!

Some great tips on this thread. I think you are doing a terrific job. It will not be noticed when it is finished.

For quilting I would suggest a background filler on the light background and then some details on the petals, leaves and ribbon. Maybe some holly leaves in the borders.

I really like that appliqué stitch you used! Looks great
