Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Okay, I'm a traditional quilter. This is just a section of a quilt I'm making for my LQS as a sample for their shop. I'm still not so sure I like it. It's so busy and there are so many different blocks.... 23 in total. Again, this is just a section. Is it too busy for you, too?
The name of the quilt is Green Tea and Sweet Beans by Jen Kingwell, an Austrialian designer and I need to get it done so I can get back to my Little Brown Bird quilt.

I'd rather spend money on my quilting hobby than the therapist.... I'm probably $$$ ahead.... and I'm happy!!
Well, it's different from what I would do but I think it will be beautiful. Are the colors actually brighter than this picture?
Retired teacher, loving it.
Love quilting also.
It IS busy, but I think when you get the whole thing assembled, it will look fine and you'll love it!

Oh but it's a sampler, meant to draw your eye all over. Looks great to me!
I agree with this but perhaps the individual blocks would pop more if they were separated by a (narrow) border. But I really like it.Originally Posted by nativetexan

The blocks and the fabric are both pretty. But, I'm with you-it's too much for me!! Would love to see it when it's done though.
I just "Googled" the pattern and got the full effect. It's busy; there's no doubt about it. But it's also charming.

I like it and it has an old-fashioned sampler look to it.
I just googled the pattern too. I love the old fashioned look of it. I really enjoy doing sampler quilts because I do not get bored with repeating the same blocks over and over. Might just have to order this one.
Never argue with an idiot. They'll drag you down the their level and beat you with experience.
I like it. Stick with it, I think you are going to like the finished results.
