This quilt I love and hate at the same time. I'm not happy with the muslin I purchased for it and won't be using it again. There have been several flaws and I've had to cut completely new pieces of fabric and thin spots. Also I didn't anticipate this, my mistake really, the dark blue threads from the blocks show through the white fabric! ARGH! This was my fault, I knew I should have been more careful using bleached muslin like this, so this one is going to be for sale, but as a "slightly imperfect" quilt. I think it will still be quite beautiful and will still keep someone warm. But still, what a pain in the patoot! I sold another tote to a friend so I'm just waiting to get paid and then I'll buy some white thread to quilt this...the Coats and Clark thread I have for some reason my machine hates. It always twists up and breaks when I try to free motion with it.

In the pictures, your quilt looks very nice. But..I know from experience, when we have troubles with a quilt, it continues to bother us and we are never happy with it. I'm sure it will be well-loved by whoever ends up with it, though.
