I really appreciate sewing, whether by machine or by hand. My grandmother taught me the basics when I was young, and boy did it save my butt when I ripped my tent in the Rockies. But ultimately I still suck at it. A couple years ago I tried to sew an ultralight backpacking quilt, and it was a total disaster. Silnylon is from hell. But I digress..

Your creation is adorable and cheerful if you ask me. Gave me a good smile after a long day. Good job having patience and figuring out all the technical stuff. Looking forward to your next project.

I feel you! A few years back I was trying to get into quilts and quickly gave up. Those things can be big projects and people that make quilts get a lot of respect from me. :)
