This is why I do not like kits. I always get a light bulb idea in the middle of what I am doing and change something anyway. I start following my pattern and then think " oh, this would look great" so you know what happens next.

It doesn't matter how you use the kit. It shows that you have a creative side and wanted your quilt to express your individuality. Jeanniebelle

Craftyone, how did my Bella get in your avatar????

How did that happen? Did you have instructions that were hard to understand, therefore making what you could? I really like your quilt. Did a great job. I have trouble following instr. and I have a feeling mine wouldn't turn out like the picture either. That's one reason why I hate to try something difficult. I have only done 3 quilts and am on #4.
You're pleased with your quilt I hope?

Your's is better. The one one the pattern looks like just what it is, made to be on a cover. Your's look like a realistic quilt to be used on a bed. Good job! You improved it immenssely!!
