This looks great to me! We are definately our own worse critics!

When I looked at the first pict, my initial reaction was, "WOW!! That's so pretty!" Then I looked at the other pics and thought, "Why is she being so critical?" If I were inspecting every little thing about it, I would notice the points, but I looked at the overall beauty of your quilt, and I think it's absolutely lovely! Don't be so mean to yourself! Anyone would love to have this quilt wrapped around them! :wink:

I think it is pretty! No quilt is perfect, that's what makes them special. And who would inspect it so closely? Surely not the receiver of such a beauty!

I think it looks awesome and unless it's going to the quilt police, no one but you will even notice it :)

Barnbum: Thank you for posting your quilt. I just finished a table runner this morning and was upset with myself because I found 2 points that weren't "perfect". I seriously thought I wouldn't even give it to my friend.
I appreciated the words others had to give you. I felt like they were meant for me also. My friend has always "loved" any home sewn gift I've ever given her over the last 30 years.
I think she will like the table runner just as it is.
Some times we are just to hard on ourselves and others have to point that out. I appreciate all the wonderful members on this board.

You wouldn't usually even notice! We are too critical of our own work!

OK, Karla, you are not the worst quilter in the world! All those triangles are TOUGH! I think your quilt is gorgeous; it doesn't have to be perfect to be beautiful! I'll bet once you get it quilted you'll like it even better! This one's too good to sell anyway--I know you like it, and I think you should keep it for yourself!

But its BEAUTIFUL! If you don't point out a little flaw nobody will ever notice.

I think it is beautiful. We do tend to be our own worse critics. You did a grat job.

It's a lovely quilt, don't point out your little imperfections. It's not supposed to be perfect, it's hand made with love! :thumbup: :thumbup:
