    I am so glad you posted the finished product!! I had been watching the progress and wondered if the quilt had been done and I had missed it.

    I think it looks great............ :D !!! Look what you learned from it!!

    Love the colors and the quilt itself!!!

    Melanie--I always say "better finished than perfect". Good for you for staying with it and getting it done. I have been quilting for 9 years and I learn something new with every quilt I make.

    You know what~~~I think I have learned "something" from every quilt I've made. I have been quilting for over 30 years...so think of this as a learning experience. Your quilt is beautiful, you should be proud...finishing a quilt is a great accomplishment !!!

    It's beautiful Baren. Don't worry about the wrinkles, when you have it wrapped around you on a cold day no one will notice. My first is still languishing down in my sewing room. Just can't get the oomph to finish it. :)
