Looks great! Remember the 3 foot rule.... stand back 3' if you can't see it, it ain't no big deal :)

So, you lost a point here or there, overall, I think you did a marvelous job and nothing to be ashamed of, for sure.

I think it's very pretty, and so unique, not like everyone else's. I'll bet he likes it,, too.

Are you kidding? It is gorgeous!

This is so handsome! I think once it's quilted you'll like it even more and those "mistakes" will just disappear into the quilting. It's very striking! No quilt police here!
