I wouldn't worry about unpicking the stitcheries, something like that adds uniqueness to a quilt/project. <BR/>Well done to have accomplished it over the olympics, I still haven't sat down to stitch and watch; *chuckle* and the olympics is over now!

Did you do all the stitcheries during the olympics, too? I think it looks wonderful, and I agree that if you are hanging it you may for your own perfectionism want to straighten one or two, but if it is going to be for relaxing on the couch, I like it just the way it is. I think it gives it extra charm.Candacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07282145706665260731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2522075895037083320.post-34209111014434431902008-08-25T15:52:00.000+01:002008-08-25T15:52:00.000+01:00I think it looks wonderful; what a feat to accompl...I think it looks wonderful; what a feat to accomplish during the Olympics.Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06958077183627536062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2522075895037083320.post-83076000955304641912008-08-25T09:56:00.000+01:002008-08-25T09:56:00.000+01:00I must have bad eyes or something because it looks...I must have bad eyes or something because it looks terrific to me.

It looks great! I wouldn't worry so much about the "wonkyness". Of course it depends on whether it is for the wall or to use, and if it is going to be washed or not. After it gets used a bit and washed it will look just fine, of course if it is hanging on a wall unwashed, it might make a difference....<BR/>Our closing ceremonies are on tonight, it must be a time delay. I'm going to record it for the kids this time, they have really enjoyed parts of it.scraphappyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01472985095648633397noreply@blogger.com
