I just busted out laughing about your ex trying to get the judge to "make you finish it" for him. Hilarious....& glad the judge thought it funny too...I like the quilt--and you get to practice on an actual quilt. You can practice on each actual block rather than make a practice sandwich of batting and fabric. Glad you got to keep the quilt....your practice stitches are great.

I love the story of this quilt and your quilting! I would never be able to give it away. Let your kids fight over it when you join the great quilting bee in the sky. :D

Your story is hilarious! Love your quilt and quilting is lovely.

I think your quilting is great, your stitches are very even and small. it is a beautiful quilt.

Your quilting is impressive! Very nicely done, neat stitches, even, and great freehand motifs. And the quilt is very pretty, too; I can see why your ex wanted it, even as an "ex". (Loved your story, by the way; judges hear some incredible requests at times.)

Terrific quilt! Your hand quilting is super!

From where I sit, you have practiced until your stitching is near perfect. You really couldn't ask for more.

I think your quilting is beautiful. You have done a wonderful job.

Very nice small stitches.

From what I can tell it it a great quilt. The quilting looks fine to me!
