My seams don't all match perfectly like yours. You can really see it in the polka dot squares.

Thanks so much for the kind encouragement. I DO see improvement with each quilt, but I want then to ALL be PERFECT... and right now!
Lol... my grand children love their "Grama quilts" and that is very satisfying.
A quilt contest! Yikes! I have a long way to go before I can even entertain the idea!
But you should do well. Your quilt is exquisite.
You are so right about studying quilting books and magazines. I have subscribed to 2 magazines and went to eBay and found an estate sale with a pile of old quilting books that are wonderful. I guess I just need to practice, practice, practice.
Thanks and good luck at the fair...
