Have you ever seen the show, Canada's Worst Handyman or Canada's Worst Driver? I think there is a future in Canada's Worst Quilter. I'd give the other contestants a run for their money. I have never taken a class. I am always making mistakes and never has a quilt turned out as nicely as I pictured it in my head. If it wasn't for the beauty in the fabric I doubt any one would want to own one.
My stitches are never straight. My measurements are always off. I AM Canada's Worst Quilter... but I love to quilt. So what are ya gonna do? Keep practicing, I guess.

Canada's worst quilter - too funny!! At least you are trying and that is more than most people do. It looks really nice.
Tracy stop it! There's nothing wrong with that at all, looks perfectly lovely.
I would like to try a quilt, but I'm not sure I have the perseverence to stick with it. My crochet afghan is in it's second year and barely started. I think your quilt looks great! - Margy
Looks fantastic, I would be thrilled with such a gift! Well done :)
Do you have a rotary cutter, ruled mat, and ruler? If so, you're golden - just check that you're lined up straight, and go slow when you're cutting. If you're already doing this . . . I've got nothin'.
FWIW, I think the quilt is lovely.
It's the finishing that gets me every time. The quilt tops always look great but when I start to sandwich them with batting and the backing I start to loose it. There must be a trick I don't know or something.
I'll keep trying. I still have to finish one for my son, and maybe do a queen size one for me and hubby but that might be pushing it.
It looks great.
I use to have the same problem until I learned to use a zillion safety pins to hold the layers together. It works for me. BTW your finished product looks lovely. A cherished gift for sure.
