    Great job! It's beautiful! On those birds nests if u can untangle them then you could undo a few more stitches and tie it in a knot. Or as some others have suggested by redoing those areas.

    Bring your bobbin thread up to the top and hold both threads when you start quilting to avoid those nests. Good job, otherwise.

    your thread nests look as if that is where you started and stopped? caused by not bringing the bottom thread to the top before starting to stitch.
    to avoid this at the start (every time) put the needle down, hold onto the thread (that is through the eye of the needle) and bring the needle back up. the bobbin thread will be looped around the top thread., hold both threads as you begin to stitch. after a few stitches you can clip those threads, some people stop and tie them into a knot, some people thread them onto a needle and poke them into the center of their quilt sandwich. what ever you choose to do with them is your choice, but bringing them both to the top will prevent those nests on the bottom :thumbup:

    Do not say anything critial about your quilt. Don't even point things out. You should be very proud of your quilt. It is very nice. I will agree it is very rewarding.
