Thank you all for your kind comments. As I said earlier, I don't blame the quilter at all, for what I don't like, and I will go back to her. The quilting is baptist fan and I was afraid to have her do them too small because I had heard about how stiff a quilt will get if it is machine quilted too close together, but with them so big, the design is kind of lost. I just wish I could have learned some of these things on a "not quite so special quilt". It means a lot to have a place to go, to vent about it, thanks.
