Omg, I found this quilt, she LOVED IT, so I guess that is all that really matters. Looking at it the points do not match, clearly, LOL, it came apart a lot, so I hand stitched, I never quilter it, I had no idea how to so I tacked it with thread. All I can do is laugh, my new baby will have a little different. And I have now made some really nice quilts for my daughter, I just cannot believe how bad this one is. Lmbo. Hope you all get a kick out of it!!!
The beauty of it is all the love you stitched into it for her. We all have disasters in our past and thank God we have improved and can laught at ourselves. Congrats on the new baby, I send my prayers for a healthy happy bundle of joy toyou all.

You know what tho? How awesome you are that you wanted to learn and you didn't let not knowing how stop you. You jumped right in with both feet and gave it your best effort. And you kept right on doing it, learning more each time.
That takes grit and determination and you should be so proud of yourself!!!
Congrats on the news and on the way your quilting skills have developed.
