Briskgo, for what it's worth, here are my thoughts. I do a lot of my own quilting, and I always think it's not as good as a "pro". So I know where you are coming from. BUT, your quilt is wonderful, just the way it is! You do not have to make any excuses. The quilt is fun and happy, and so is your quilting. Nothing about the pattern says the quilting should be perfect. The quilting police should get off their horses and stop to admire your fine work.

My dear briskgo, if I could quilt like that I would be bustin' me buttons! lol Your quilt is just lovely! You can be proud to say you did it all yourself!!

We are ALMOST ALWAYS our own worst critic! Good work, good quilting. The best I can do by machine is SITD!

Looks great,

Don't be too discouraged. Choosing the quilting is one of the hardest things for me, too. It looks great to me. The quilt is not ruined by any stretch.

I like the loops you used! The thread color really does work well on this quilt. Great looking quilt!

I can see the challenge you had for the color of thread for quilting with the dark blocks and light fabric you used to set it together. I like the quilt and with the design in the fabric, using the dark thread for quilting adds to it.

it looks great. You see things that nobody else notices - be happy with it.

I haven't been able to log on for about a week. Just wanted to thank everyone for the encouragement I put it away and I'll pull it out later, that is good advice. Besides can't blame the quilt now can I.

A great quilt! I see nothing wrong with the choice of thread color or quilting. The fabrics, thread and quilting make it look playful.
