I think it turned out very pretty. I can see where you didn't think the stripes matched, I don't really care for stripes but you did a great job!

Oh, that turned out very nicely. I like the stripes too. Great Job. I wouldnt have known what to do. I have taught myself to quilt and am sure I wouldn't know where to begin given a bunch of fabric

Ah, the fun and torture we endure for the sake of perfecting and conquering those little pieces of cotton. It's just plain hilarious, isn't it. Thanks for sharing!!

Lovely! You did a great job! There's a designer inside of you just waiting to come out! The stripe fit in quite nicely!
