You need the advice my friend gave to me, "don't tell anyone or show anyone your errors", they won't see them. Beautiful quilt and quilting, love it.

I think you are being too hard on yourself. We are our own worst critics. It looks great,

I think it is a great job for just beginning. Trust me, my first quilt is a disaster because the blocks weren't squared, one end of the quilt was bigger than the other end. Be proud, you deserve it. I would never post a picture of my first quilt, even though it sits on our bed, I will be making a new one.

I do notice the back is a bit crooked. The front looks great though. I'm guessing you had to do more fussing with it than you wanted to. If this is your second quilt. You did an amazing job. I can not wait to see your fifth and sixth quilt. OMG - your tenth will be to die for. It really isn't bad at all. I like it and you do have an eye for color. Keep going!

Every quilter I have ever know is her own worst critic. Try not mentioning your mistakes, and talk about how much fun you had putting it together, Remember the 5 foot rule and just move on. I see no mistakes; even those you pointed out. I think its a beautiful quitl

I think you did a nice job and unless it is a quilt as you go, I never understand how someone can get a perfectly straight backing on a DSM--it is a huge task and quite a challenge.

I think it is nice, though. I don't see the mistakes you talk about except the crooked back (a little). Probably no one would notice if you put it on the bed so the material is straight, unless you told someone about it. (assuming you want a reversible quilt). Otherwise, the front is quite pretty...and I don't see the mess you see.

Gosh, I've looked and looked and don't see anything wrong! I think your quilt looks lovely and if there are any imperfections like you say, they are so small so as to be completely unnoticeable!

I think it looks fine. None of us are perfect. You did a good job. I can't see the mistakes.
