    That's really pretty -- so worth finishing. Well done!

    Wonderful colors. Beautiful quilt. Mine are not usually square when in use anyway so I just enjoy the process & quilt on. Great job. Kathy

    I really like your quilt. I'm glad it's time out convinced it to straighten it's ways.

    Sometimes projects do improve with age; it's happened to me twice! Once a top was so poorly made I couldn't handle it, and put it away in disgust. When I got it out a year later, it only needed one small, 5-minute fix, and then it was fine. The other was hideously ugly, and got stuck in the back of a closet out of shame. I got it out almost 5 years later to show a friend what horrible colour sense I used to have, and it turns out it was beautiful! (that was when I learned that even if something doesn't work out as I had envisioned, that doesn't mean it's bad).

    This is actually a strategy that I use now... if I'm disappointed by a project, I put it away to rediscover in the future. I'm thinking of making a little sign that says "Time heals all quilts".

    The quilt is very pretty, the red triangles really set it off. Well worth the time out for a good finish.

    Good job, it's very nice. And how good do you feel having gone back and finished it? Very often these quilts end up being our favorites because of the sense of accomplishment we feel having done it!

    Very pretty! I'm glad it came to its senses and decided to behave!

    Would have been a real shame to lose this beauty to the scrap heap. Good for you for your perseverance. It's a great looking quilt.
