    I think you did great on this little quilt for your grandson. He will love the bright colors to play on.

    It would have been so easy to give up but you didn't. Congratulations. The quilt is so bright and cheery, perfect for a little boy.

    You were really harsh on yourself...any time you try a new pattern, with new techinques it's a stretch to learn how to do it correctly...and then to have a machine failure at the same time! What's great is you keep going, and found ways to compensate for the what didn't work, and my gosh, you finished it! It's really colorful and fun! and should be loved! Know your arms aren't long enough, but if they were, you should give yourself a pat on the back. Great work!!!!

    The colors just dance across the quilt. Love that you choose to not add borders. It is fabulous.

    Well said. In years to come you'll be able to laugh at the memory of the problems. It's beautiful. Can you show us a picture of him with it? All the best. Joyce in DE
