Thank you to everyone who gave me suggestions on how to quilt this one! Gramyx7 pm'd me and suggested the serpentine stitch and I went with that one. My issue is that in one of the corners, part of the border didn't get stitched down with the binding, so I went back and straight stitched that corner. Should I do that to the rest of the corners or just leave it? Thank you in advance for your ideas!

I love it.

I would stitch the entire thing. I have often been told that I am obsessive though.

Very nice quilt. I think I would just leave the one corner as it is. When looking at the whole quilt, it won't be noticeable.

If I'm seeing it right, I would simply go with the straight sewing all around it, then it would look as if it was what you intended in the first place.

And I had to go back to see what you meant by "crooked". Even then, I almost had to get a measuring tape to see it. Don't obsess about it, I've never, ever seen anyone gifted with a lovely thing like this whip out a tape and measure it. And later, no one would think of it. We usually have a kid or pet in our laps on top of it, no one cares much (except you) about such a small defect, if that is what it is.

I didn't see the first picture, if there was one, but even with a full sized quilt, the owner will be thrilled with it and not notice such a small thing.

just my opinion here ... what can you be comfortable with?

Terrific quilt.

Great quilt!! I love the colors and pattern. The quilting is really cute.

I think that little corner is not going to be noticed by anyone but the maker, but if it really bothers you either fix it OR maybe sew a label over it?

I would stich all around the quilt so it looked like it is part of the quilting. also always tell your customers that the backing if pieced that you cannot garantee it will be centered. I would have put the squellel design down the center of each shashing to secure the design.
