Ahh um, I would be happy to have that, I really would. Your best intentions went into that project and I would own it happily. I, too, am a new quilter and doing a project. Last night I ended up with two puckers. It is for an exchange. My first thought was to pitch it and start over. I don't have the time so, puckers and all, it is going out in the mail over the weekend. If the person who receives it doesn't like it, by all means pitch it :)

This wallhanging is very cute and even if it is a little wonky all the better, after all it is for halloween. Don't change a thing, take it down, finish it and send it. Makes me wish I was in this exchange.

I know what you mean, I have been on other forums and read the complaints regarding swaps. Swap this with pride.Swapping is how we learn, it sure helped me.

how about sending it to me and i will hang it on my front door on the outside. you should never feel like you do inferior work. you are at the level of peicing and quilting that suits you and your needs never assume you should be better. we are never perfect no matter how long we piec or quilt.Stuart
