    I like it , and think you did really well for a first go at it. Really you are way to hard on yourself ... I would have paid for quilting like that.

    I don't have a long arm, nor can I afford one, I can't afford to have anyone else quilt for me either.

    But I am not sure what is wrong with you quilt I think it looks great!

    Don't know what McTavishing is but looks pretty darn good to me. I feel the same way about the quilts I make but we know where the imperfections are cause we are so up close and personal with it while quilting it, but other people will never see what we know is there.....so don't be too hard on yourself.

    I don't know what you think is so awful. I think it's really beautiful but if it offends you that much, I'd be happy to take it off your hands!

    It is a good first attempt and it will improve with time. At least you were brave enough to even try it! Well done and 1st prize for bravery!

    The pictures look great. Don't be so hard on yourself, we are always our own worst critics. I would be thrilled to own it.
