It's still very pretty and I know it's hard sometimes when things don't turn out the way they look in our heads! I'm working on one now that I should name - Should Have Done This Differently! I have been working on it for 3 years and trying to have it completed by the end of the month.
I wouldn't agonize over this quilt either, but it is pretty.

I really like both front and back! In a quilt there are so many processes, it is so easy to go wrong. You did a great job, this quilt will be used and loved. As others have said, "Finished is perfect."

You are all more than kind! Thanks for all the positive comments! The mistakes are there--I spared myself closeups which would show them more clearly--but I very much appreciate the belief that they aren't fatal, lol.
I'm most aggravated at myself about the back being crooked. That was a stupid mistake, entirely preventable if I'd been minding my p's and q's. But it's okay. We learn by doing. On to the next one!
Thanks, everyone!

My galloping horse was evidently going too fast for me to see any imperfections. lol. Seriously, don't worry about it. Probably n one else will even notice, unless you point it out.
I made a quilt a while back that I absolutely loved, and took it to my LA'er for quilting. When I picked it up, she asked me if I was trying to be Amish, with a humility block. I said "of course not, why?" She said she had found a place where I had made a mistake, but we both looked for about 10 minutes, and couldn't find it. (We both have been quilting for several years) I took the quilt home, and while I was binding it, I found the mistake, and I thought it was a glaring mistake then. However, once I finished it and put it on my bed, that mistake just magically disappeared again. I know that it is there, but even now, 2 years later, I really have to look hard to find it, and no one else has even noticed
