So Discouraged..

That sounds soooooo much like me. I never like what I made for others enough. I always find flaws in it and me and my big mouth always point them out. The recipients of the quilts don't mind at all and don't even see the mistakes in the same light EVEN after being told they are there.
Hang in there. I"m sure it is a wonderful quilt and you have put lots of love and time into it.

Sometimes it is better to cry 'uncle' and do something else for a bit. You have a few days until you need to finish. Take a deep breath, eat some cookies and milk, take some tylenol. When you feel better, go back and try again. It all takes practice.

You will get plenty of encouragement from all of us. I've learned to check the back often. So many things can affect it - needles, bobbins, our speed, our tiredness. Keep at this. You will get your own system going. Cheers for you for trying!!!!!!!!!!

Please cheer up, things will work out. Couple years ago I was tying a quilt. Can't go wrong there, jsut tying. Snort!! Sandwiched the quilt, everything looking just right, tied it. I unrolled it to admire a project almost done. Turned it over, Scream! There was a diagonal crease from one corner to the other. Why didn't I catch this before all the tying was done. I didn't even feel it as I passed over those areas. ??? I load up the quilt in the car, tell hubby I'm heading to the library where there are big tables and take this baby apart. He offers to come with me and help. I'm in a bad mood, not safe for anyone to be with me right now. I go alone. Long story short, It took me two more days, but that quilt finally got done and it turned out looking great. I understand where you're coming from but things do work out.
