Patriotic For my Secret Pal

I will gift this to my secret pal from church. (which happens to be my mom, how lucky am I) I like the way the blocks all turned out. However, I'm not certain I like the way I quilted this. I can do better. I used red, white and blue thread throughout. She'll love it. The fact that it's handmade and made by me. She couldn't be happier. Well, unless E made it. That would make her happier. A good friend gave me this pattern as she had made it and was done with the pattern. I had a bit of trouble following the pattern and I think mine is bigger than it should be. But, it's all good.
This is the back....duhhhh as if you didn't know. Kinda cute, I had some problems with the red thread. I even changed the bobbin and a different spool of thread and still had some stitching problems. Then as soon as I took the red out, it was fine. Picky machine.....

Never mind the writing on the pictures. I'm playing in Photo shop to mark all my pictures in this sort of way. I like the writing on the back best. Just a quick name, name of quilt and date. I have a huge file on the computer of pictures of everything I've made. I would like to import them all into a photo album of some sorts.

Do you take pictures of everything you complete? How do you keep them?
