It's done. As requested, here are pics of it. It's not perfect, but it's good enough.

Thanks for all the help and encouragement!

Now on to the next project!

Looks great. Glad you finished it.

Glad you got it done. Quilting is like cooking, not everything comes out perfect. :)

Congrats on the great finish!

Good for you! It looks beautiful!

Looks great! I like the border and binding really pulled it together. I have made many "unintended adjustments" to patterns over the years and if I didn't tell, no one ever knew. Very good recovery!

Great job! Remember, just because a plan gets changed in the middle of a project doesn't mean it isn't perfect. Switching gears mid-stream can open the pathway to wonderful surprises!

Great job!

That turned out really pretty. Looks good!

You did good. Glad you finished it. BrendaK

And my theory is that nobody but you (and us) will ever know the difference! So glad that you finished it and it looks great!

Absolutely looks as if it was meant to be this design right from the beginning.

Who needs perfect? I think you did a great job with it. Congratulations on the finish.

Congratulations you did an awesome job of it.

You did a great job pulling that one back from the brink of disaster! Unless you told folks there would be no reason to suspect that you never intended the quilt to look like that.

it turned out great! Never give up!

Well done, it's only when I get something wrong that I learn from my quilting. Hope the person receiving loves it too!

Beautiful!! :) :)

Looks great! Thanks for sharing with us....look forward to seeing your next one.

Your quilt came out great. I had to go back to the original thread to see why you needed to fix this. I couldn't have left it like it was. I think you made an excellent design decision. As Erma Bombeck, for those who remember her, would say "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade." Now you know you can change anything up and create a new look to make it right in your eyes.

....and you will always smile when you use that one..........

Looks fine to me...just want to snuggle in it!

I reallly like the way it turned out. I don't see a thing wrong with it, I like the way you changed to columns so it looks like a design element, very nice.

Great finish. Quilt looks like it was designed that way.

Congratulations on finishing your quilt. I read somewhere, probably on QB "Done is better than perfect".

Thanks for all the nice comments.

katesnanna - you reference the quote "Done is better than perfect". I always have that in mind when I make a quilt. It's definitely ok with me if it's not perfect, it's the thought that counts.

I also try to give my quilts to people who don't quilt so they will be less likely to notice my mistakes. :)

I'm very happy with this one. It's funny, before I quilted the top, all my little imperfections screamed at me. After it was quilted, they seemed to fade away. yahoo!!

Great job....

Beautiful quilting!

it turned out great!!good job!

Looks great, thanks for sharing the finished quilt. Good job.

Looks great!! Glad you finished it!!

Nice job finishing it! Are you in Kenmore Washington by chance? If so, we are neighbors :)

Now hats a cute quilt !!

I relate to "good enough. Nice quilt.

Good going, you have a nice quilt!

It turned out wonderful! The binding is a great addition, as well.

So happy you stayed with it. I've had projects that have fought me from start to finish. You did a wonderful job!!! :):thumbup:

Nope, I sew on a Kenmore! A 1958 model that used to be my Mom's.

Good job. I am eager to see your next project.
