Really beautiful quilt. You did a great job finishing it. We are always so hard on ourselves.
I cant see any flaws in your pictures.

It may have been an effort to finish, but you have a gorgeous quilt and memory. No one that matters is ever going to see the things you worry about!

When I have a quilt with bias edges I will run a basting stitch along the edges to keep it from growing and keep the tension on the loose-side if you are doing L/A quilting...just a hint in case another one comes along

I do plan on labeling it but I was struggling with the right words for it... I won't let it go "naked" for too long though :)
