Sometimes when you work real hard on a quilt, you can't see the forest for the trees because you have spent so much time so close to it. Don't look at it for a few days, then suddenly walk in a room and see it spread out. You will love it! I'm a Texan and I say y'all did a fantastic job!

since it is 90X90 you both can snuggle up under it. Problem solved. By the way I think it is beautiful and those cowboy boot fabric are sure cute. Did you quilt it? How wonderful you made your sweetie the first thing on your new machine. ...POP some pop corn and put in a romantic movie and enjoy your cuddling quilt!
Go easy on your self! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

He can't fool me. :) (I made him this one because shortly after he bought me my new Bernina he asked if I would make him a "Texas quilt". He didn't give me any ideas of what he wanted, just something to do with Texas. He was born and raised in East Texas and is still a Texan at heart.)
It's waaaaay bigger than I wanted but that's my own fault. I bought the pattern from a lady over the phone and she just mentioned if I wanted it to be quilt size (not wall hanging size) I should make the squares 4 1/2". Did I bother I compute how big that would make this quilt though? Noooooo. :P I had planned some borders but after getting just the squares done, I decided against the borders, even though it would look better with them.

I did quilt it. It's just an all over large meandering design. Quick and easy. :)
Wanted to add that you Texans crack me up. There isn't another state in the US where the citizens love it more than y'all love your state. I love it over there too so I understand why you're proud of it. :)

You are being way to hard on yourself :( Your quilt is beautiful and of course your husband loves it .... what's not to love?! True you had a picture in your minds eye and the quilt didn't live up to that for you, but we didn't have that picture to judge it by and we all think you did great :thumbup:
