The gray quilt is together--but it's only good from a great distance. Rats!

This is not bad. Sometimes a project just doesn't work out the best. Try your triangles again with confidence that it will work beautifully. The best of luck!

Don't be so hard on yourself. It looks great. When you show it to someone, don't go pointing out the things you felt you did wrong. Just let them enjoy it.

I think it looks great! I have wanted to do a quilt like this, but after all the hair pulling and cursing I have been doing with my son's sailboat quilt, I might not! I think your hubby is a very smart guy to claim it for himself.

I love your quilt. And once you quilt it the mistakes that "you see" will be impossible to notice. Nice job!!

karla, this obviously doesn't bother anyone but you. but if it makes you crazy nuts, put on that extra border, make it a busy-ish print and it will detract from any mistakes you think there are. the bold pattern will still pop, but the incidentals will vanish.

Very pretty, I love the colors! As for the "mistakes" when you look at the whole quilt you can't see any and if someone gets close enough to point anything out, just let them do better if they can.
