I only flat quilt and enjoy it, do not/cannot do patchwork buying tops if I want them , but think that your finished quilt looks really good to my unqualified eye. Many quilts that that I've seen machine quilted have been stitched too closely making them hard and not soft/comforting and quite frankly make me feel sick.
You should be very proud of your work.
A gift like this will be cherished

What a beautiful, beautiful quilt !!
I suggest taking it back to the LAQ and
see if she could add/modify the design,
such as adding more fans between the initial
ones.
However I agree with all the other posters,
your kids will only see the love and effort put
into it and cherish it.

I have always hand quilted my quilts. I knew that I wanted this quilt done sooner than I could hand quilt it, so I chose this route. The pattern I chose just isn't very nice looking in certain parts of the quilt. I know there is nothing I can do about it now, I just wonder if this has ever happened to any of you.

I am so sorry that you too have had to experience this. I have had the same thing happen as well as my sister in Florida. It seems to happen quite a bit and I am not sure why. My heart goes out to you.

Sorry to hear you are not happy with the quilt you had machine quilted. Could it be that you are just compairing hand quilting to machine quilting. I had one quilted five years ago and they did a wonderful job.
