Got a little close in some places, and still not super comfortable with how to manage some of the curves, but does it look ok?

    I hardly had any loops on the back (second pic) and thought that was really weird for a first attempt... I've read/heard that the back tends to look really iffy the first few tries? Are some of the little antler bits too long? Is it better to keep with shorter stubby curves than long ones? Sigh Thank you!
    Are you sure you haven't done this before!!!! Just beautiful

    I think it looks GREAT! I'd say you're ready to do your sister's quilt. Relax and have fun!
