You did a very good job. Your quilt is beautiful. Listen to your DH and keep it. My DH told me to keep my first quilt but I gave it away and have wished for many years that I had kept it.
That's a stunner (in a good way). You're on your way to being a super quilter. Welcome to the Quilting Board! We have lots of wonderful, knowledgeable people here.
Some of the first quilts these ladies have made are absolutely amazing. I am not sure I would even make that now. The bargello scares me to death. I love your work.
