we quilt for fun and enjoyment,so what if all the points dont match or or cut off.. dont sweat the small stuff. The quilt is beautiful....

Leave it alone. It looks like you made a quirky quilt and meant for the triangles to be a bit off.

I with GrammaNan your daughter will love it with or without what you see as errors she will see just the love from you

I think the top will be adorable when finished! And as far as the triangles lining up, I don't think many quilts are ever "perfect." I have noticed that often blocks in quilts featured in quilting books and magazines don't have corners that match perfectly! Once I became used to seeing professional quilts that have blocks that don't line up perfectly, it took a lot of pressure off of me to try to make a "perfect" quilt. Just enjoy the beautiful work that you have done, and the awesome look on your 5-year old's face when you give it to him!

Kas,

I am sure there are smart quilters on this board who can give you advice on fixing those triangles/how to avoid triangle problems in the future. But I am not one of them. Personally, I think the Off-Angle-Triangles give the quilt movement, like those little boats need some rough water to sail on. Years from now when you are a famous quilter, people will see this little boat quilt and ask "How did you DO that?" You'll just smile and say, "It was quite difficult. Certainly not for a beginner."

So, just call yourself the Picasso Of The Quilt World and finish off this baby.

We are all more critical of ourselves. I was told by a dear friend when my first quilt had a serious wrinkle in it " You aren't planning to enter this in a quilt show, no, then finish it just like it is and learn from it." I did and I still learn from every thing I make. give it to you child, matching triangles won't matter to her. It is so lovely to me and maybe the triangles could be an artist license... :lol:

Relax, and finish it! :D The idea is done is better than perfection. Besides, unless you tell everyone and point out your 'problem points' as you see them, they are not going to be seen. I think the quilt is cute and needs to be finished and given love instead of criticizm! :thumbup:

I have made several of the Buggy Barn quilts. Their method is a trim as you go method, it's not supposed to be all perfect. I know this is hard for us quilters to do, but that's the reason the patterns are so fun. I took a class at the quilt shop for one of these patterns and that's what they told me. I was trying to make them all line up too. Just go with it and then it will be fun.

I agree with everyone else -- you should just go with it as is! The "wonky" points give it personality and a sense of playfulness. I personally think you should consider yourself done and let your son enjoy it. He doesn't see anything "wrong" with it; he just loves you for making it for him.

Don't sweat this, truly! It's a lovely, lovely quilt and you should treasure its quirkiness.... :-)

I love it. Sometimes we beat ourselves to much. Just relax and enjoy.
