    It may not be perfect in your eyes, but I Love your fabric combination and your quilt looks very cuddly.

    It looks snuggly (sp?) to me. I like it. I am trying to free motion quilt and like looking at how far I've come from when I first started. If it were me i'd keep it.. Just a thought. Thank you for sharing.

    If your toddler loves it, let her have it. She will have fond memories of it.

    You know, someone would treasure this and no one will ever be as critical of it as you are yourself. I think I've been disappointed in every quilt I ever made--just sort of goes with the territory. Don't beat up on yourself about it. Finish it up, and give it away or keep it but start the next one and enjoy the process.

    You have a lot of work in this and and I think it is very nice. We are our own worst critics. If it were me I would go ahead and bind it then wash it in hot water with lots of Shout Color Catchers,dry it is a hot dryer so it will shrink up and look like an old quilt. That should also take away the lines where you ripped out the old quilting. If you still don't like it there are probably lots of charities that would love to have it.

    I think you should wrap it up and mail it to me. LOL! Seriously, the top is done so well, finish it. Don't let it hand around unfinished as a reminder. It is good enough for a gift or a charitable donation. Don't be so hard on yourself. Live and learn.

    I just want to thank you all.

    I was so disappointed in it when it was done that I felt like poo. But all your kind words made me feel a million times better about and my work. So thank you from the bottom of my heart.

    I am going to give it as a Christmas gift to my step dads father. He is getting up there is years and made my daughter a step stool. His last step stool because he can't work his machinery anymore. This will be my gift to him as a thank you for thinking of Lulu and a thank you for being a great great grandfather to her.

    Your quilt is beautiful! We are always our own worst critic (myself included). but your quilt is really very nice! Every once in a while a project just gives us a lot of problems. I just made a series of three flannel and lined baby blankets. For some reason, the binding on the last one just didn't "click". So, I just decided that one would be a little bit smaller! I cut the old binding off and re-did the binding! It came out almost perfect the second time around!

    We have to learn to forgive ourselves for being human!
