I felt so bad, when i realized i made a mistake.(shortcut) I was ready to scrap the whole thing.

Your mistake is not a mistake to us, it is a design decision! I think the summery color is beautiful. I would hang it myself. IMHO

Sorry the seams turned out short, but it is a beautiful quilt.

The quilt is beautiful from what I can see. Don't know why you wouldn't be proud to show it off!

I am proud to show it off. I have it in my dinning room on a quilt rack for show, My problem is I was am upset with myself for taking a short cut in cutting out the pieces, they did not come out with 1/4 in seem allowances. so because of that I had to top stitch some of the pieces as they were pulling apart when I quilted in the ditch. I am so glad I put it on here all of you quilter have so many nice things to say, I don't feel as bad after reading all of your comments, Thank all of you very much. Carlotta

Display and enjoy your pretty quilt. I personally don't believe there is a "perfect" quilt anywhere. Each project will have something (large or small) go wrong that becomes a lesson learned. Bet your 1/4" seams have improved.
