    I love this quilt. I wouldn't give the points another thought! I look at each quilt as a snapshot of what I'm capable of at a given time. I rarely will rip apart more than a seam or two, rather just do my best and pin and press as best as I can. I try to learn from every quilt, then move on. Your niece will love this quilt for many years- just be happy with that, and look forward to your next project. Blessings, Kris

    You did a great job of the quilt..........points or no points. Love the checked fabric and the great quilted swirls. They add so much interest. She will love it.

Although, I do think it came out pretty. My niece Ashley doesn't know anything about quilting, so she probably won't notice (fingers crossed).
    Love it, missing points or not.

    Great choice of fabric. The checked fabric just adds so much design to the quilt.

    The gingham really sets this off, a perfect frame for your blocks. Great quilting, too!
