Not feeling the love. But that is because we are experienced. A child won't know - a child will love any of these quilts. If she has a good rate, you might want to stick with her for donation quilts but work with her in picking out the panto, thread color and which way the quilting should go or how dense? Maybe she will get better? But even so - these are perfectly usable quilts. Cheers!

It is horrible and I am going to rip it out and try to baste it and machine quilt it myself....someday when I can look at it and not be sick about it. It was 2" smaller in the center than the ends, large bubbles of un-quilted areas and pleats quilted into it too...all which were not there before.Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15327282482525374694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18199660.post-40479687868893551912010-10-02T18:10:37.006-06:002010-10-02T18:10:37.006-06:00Do you mean that your quilter did not change the t...Do you mean that your quilter did not change the thread color on thos perfect strips of color changes?

That's what it looks like to my eye. That said, the quilts are too cute and I like the use of Elaine's idea in the border. That was a good one!!! These are really great actually.
