    Default Carpenter Quilt

    Making this for a friend who was just diagnosed with breast cancer. Hubby suggested I put only one pink ribbon to make a statement. Tell me what you think. Thanks for looking and comments. Still new to quilting. Gotta get those points to not disappear! [ATTACH=CONFIG]524698[/ATTACH]

    Great quilt and the ribbon was great to add your spin to this quilt. Don't worry. The points won't disappear once your cutting, pressing or seam allowances will improve with every quilt you make.

    Yes, one ribbon. It'll be beautiful and no one will notice the points.

    Quilt is lovely. I think points are fine. Since you have not quilted it yet, I will make this comment. I am a breast cancer survivor and I would not like to forever be reminded of the breast cancer when I use your beautiful quilt. I would take the ribbon off the front, if you are able, and consider putting a smaller ribbon (or none) on the label instead. Just my opinion.
