Which is better? I don't know how to finish this quilt.

Thank you everyone for your advice!

I think my inner perfectionist went into overdrive for a little bit.

I walked away from it and now I've decided to go for flat and matched as best as I can :)

I'm learning as I go just how gentle I need to be with the fabric. Easy does it huh!

Thanks again for looking and trying to help me out. I'll post pics when it's done.

I would go for flat over perfect seams. Once it is washed and dried, those little things won't be noticable to anyone but you. I think you did great for this being your first quilt. From everything I have read, this block is not as easy to match up as Jenny makes it appear. Plenty of people on here have had trouble with this one.

If you go back and look at the one Jenny did, it doesn't match either. It drove me crazy when she did the tutorial because I'm anal about seams matching. But, it's the way the pattern is cut - it's going to be off a little if the block is square. So, flat and square is the answer. That's the way it's supposed to be.

As well I cannot imagine have time on my hands without a hobby... Have fun and do what feels OK for YOU!!hugs, Barbara

Once again Gramma Babs and I are on the same page. Have fun with this quilt, dear girl. It looks wonderful to me.
PS, there is a saying among FMQ'ers - "I can quilt that out." That means any bumps, lumps, whatever can be quilted out with enough thread. Me? I wouldn't worry. It will still look great and do the job at keeping you warm.
BTW - love the fabrics you have chosen. It is quite charming

I never could find the problem areas.... I think your work looks great!
