    What a beautiful quilt. I think all it needs is a little bit more quilting like others have suggested. I would not take anything out...just add a bit more quilting.

    It is very pretty and soft-looking.

    What batting did you use and what is the max distance stated for that batting?
    I think because you have a large pattern with relatively close lines within the pattern, the quilting is not as well distributed as could be. The good news - you have LARGE areas to add more quilting. Nobody will ever notice. Just call it a creative opportunity on the learning curve. I would not take out a single stitch.

    I looked at the pic after reading the heading but before reading the rest of your message and I thought....'I can't see anything that happened'.
    Your quilt looks beautiful. I think you're just used to flatter quilts b/c you always did close meandering.
    Personally, if the quilt is not for show, I like when they are NOT densely quilted. To me, they look like quilts of long ago.

    I think it is a beautiful quilt just the way it is! It is us quilters who judge ourselves this way.

    Thankyou everyone for your advice. I'll leave it for a day or two until my panic and disappointment has settled down and then with a calmer mindset will then have a look at doing some more quilting as everyone has suggested. Thankyou again....most appreciated.

    I think it could stand a bit more quilting - It's pretty - and I think you can just "work in" more between what you've already done.

    Looser quilting...a little more puff. That is exactly how I like my quilts. I like them more like a comforter with more loft. I agree with everyone else...there is nothing wrong here. It is lovely. You just aren't used to the look.

    Beautiful quilt and colors. We are our worse critics.
