My opinion is that you are being overly critical of the back. (Of
course, we're all overly critical of our own work, aren't we? ;-) ) I
don't think it looks bad at all. The intended recipient is a lucky kid!
I say send it.
Best regards,

I think it looks just fine and echo everyone elses advice. Send it
out and wait for the thanks and compliments. It's really a very sweet
quilt! Donna

Thanks to everybody. I should have realized yesterday that my panic
over the back of the quilt was the leading edge of a flare. I'm just a
bit on edge and have stepped up some medication to deal with what's
happening. All is well. The quilt will be bound today and delivered at
the Mom's leisure. Now I just have to pick up a gift for big sister so
she gets something too.
Hugs and thanks,
Sunny

Gee, that backing and stitching look just fine to me! I wouldn't
think twice about sending it on just like it is. I'm quite sure the
baby won't care, either.
