    If perfection was a criteria for quilting, there would be few quilts!! (If any!) I think it looks great! Those few little problems give it character!! :thumbup: :D

    I think it looks great. Don't point out the errors; the quilting will take care of most of it. Just be proud. It's beautiful and your color selection is great.

    It's absolutely gorgeous! Be proud of this excellent quilt. "Perfection" comes from robot-automated factories, blea.

    it is beautiful! and no one but a quilter would know that it is not exactly like you planned it to be. quilts should always be admired from across the room :) that way you see the whole picture ...
    don't beat yourself up it is great!

    I like it. The eye carries and unless there is someone looking really close for all those errors you think you made, it still looks beautiful! Good job.

    looks lovely. I'm working on a quilt with triangles as well (my first quilt in years) for my grandpa for xmas. No one has ever made him a quilt and he'll love it even if things don't perfectly line up...it will bug "me" but no one else LOL! That quilt you've shown would be a challenge for me for sure! It is a very nice top!

    It looks fantastic, you really did a great job picking fabrics. I can understand your frustration, but all things considered it really is lovely and you should be proud.
