Somewhere along the line, EVERY quilt I have ever made has ticked me off at one point or another....either the fabrics aren't "quite right" or the pattern is "just a little off"...or something! But you know what? Somehow, it all comes together in the end! So don't lose heart...you will be amazed at how much more "likeable" it becomes the closer you are to completing it!
And by the way, I LOVE the second one! Please let us see pictures when you finish!
