i haven't done these kinds of projects before, but my daughter thought this would be a good gift for her grandmother.

i think the snowflakes have to come off. i think i loathe them.

but the hours of work....

what says the qb?

stillclock 12-10-2012 11:44 PM

i really think they have to go. so much faster to take them off than to finish them or fix those wonky white/silver ones...

thanks guys :)

i like them...since no two snowflakes (or anything else in nature) is the same-or perfect- i would leave them-you have done the work.

QuiltnNan 12-11-2012 03:40 AM

i agree with ckcowl... i love your runner... the snowmen are so very cute

HillCountryGal 12-11-2012 03:41 AM

Not sure why you'd want to remove the snowflakes.

nygal 12-11-2012 04:07 AM

Very sweet as it is.

ArtsyOne 12-11-2012 04:10 AM

I like the snowflakes and would leave them.

rush88888 12-11-2012 04:19 AM

if you don't like it, remove it. otherwise, you will only see the thing you don't like about the runner instead of all that is "right".

DebbE 12-11-2012 04:46 AM

I actually like the snowflakes - just as in nature, they are all different.....adds a nice touch. Really cute runner.

Quiltngolfer 12-11-2012 05:45 AM

I like the snowflakes. Cute quilt!

MamaBear61 12-11-2012 05:57 AM

I like the snowflakes and agree that "perfect" snowflakes look exactly like yours :-)

francie yuhas 12-11-2012 09:32 AM

Don't mess with the flakes...after you don't look at it for aday or too, you'll likely think they are Ok. If you think this is really disgusting,you could send it my way? LOL

quiltsRfun 12-11-2012 11:49 AM

I like them. They're the pom pom on top of the hat.

irishrose 12-11-2012 12:08 PM

I like the embroidered snowflakes. The runner is perfect just as it is and the grandmother will be pleased.

It's a shame we are so critical of our own work.

lynnie 12-11-2012 12:13 PM

I like them...add sequins to the points of the snowflakes for glitz

chips88 12-11-2012 12:36 PM

i like the snow flakes, adds a nice touch...:thumbup:

cdmmiracles 12-11-2012 12:39 PM

I think they add a really cute touch to an already cute project. I would leave them, but you have to be satisfied with it also.

MamaO2011 12-11-2012 01:11 PM

I would keep them! I hate to feel like my efforts have been "wasted" and I like the explanation that no two snowflakes are alike! I say keep.

Tink's Mom 12-11-2012 01:13 PM

I would leave them....I really think they look nice...

tlambing 12-11-2012 01:15 PM

I really like the snowflakes! why would you like to take them off?

joyce888 12-11-2012 05:06 PM

I think it's really cute.

mucky 12-11-2012 05:12 PM

Leave them on unless it ruins it for you. If you don't like them you won't like the wall hanging. Sometimes you just need to look at it for awhile and then decide.

stillclock 12-11-2012 06:25 PM

my daughter loves them and says her nana will love them.

i'll never see the thing again or if i do it will be in passing.

so they stay! (and snorg...i have to finish them.....)

thanks guys. i do think we're hypercritical of our own work and i appreciate your eyes :)

MissEllieB 12-11-2012 07:21 PM

Keep them. How could you make the snowmen without snowflakes?

QuiltnMyra 12-11-2012 07:29 PM

I like the snowflakes too ... but if you think you are going to loathe them, then they gotta gal, they gotta go . How about reserving your opinion for the moment and see if they 'grow' on you.

owlvamp 12-11-2012 07:30 PM

i like the snowflakes. but you need to what will make you happy with it.

quiltingme 12-11-2012 08:05 PM

In nature, all snowflakes are different. So love yours!!!!

sewplease 12-11-2012 08:16 PM

I'm glad you are going to keep them. I kept looking at them and couldn't figure out what I was missing, lol. This is very cute.

quiltjoey 12-11-2012 08:24 PM

I like them. They add a lot of interest. Are they machine embroidered, appliqued or hand done? Love the Santas!

cathyvv 12-11-2012 08:39 PM

Keep the snowflakes. They look great. I understand how you'd hate making them, but the finished product is just perfect!

qltgrose 12-11-2012 08:55 PM

If YOU were going to keep it and it bugged you I might do the work to remove them, but especially since its a gift, SHE will not know the difference and will be thrilled with it! I love it!!

JanieH 12-12-2012 03:53 AM

I vote for the snowflakes!

kathbug 12-12-2012 04:02 AM

I like the snow flakes, the finish the winter theme

lil sis 12-12-2012 04:06 AM

I also like the snow flakes. If it realy bothers you remove them.

Aileen, you are right in that we do tend to be quite picky and very critical of our work, smile. I love your runner....it has a lovely folksy look to it!!!

BertieD 12-12-2012 05:01 AM

I love it! Definitely keep the snowflakes -- they're all beautiful!

Retiree 12-12-2012 05:04 AM

Love it all!

Gabrielle's Mimi 12-12-2012 05:20 AM

I like them. We are often way too critical of our own work. Don't be so hard on yourself!

cherrio 12-12-2012 05:25 AM

I love em.

bibi 12-12-2012 05:31 AM

I think it is cute just as it is.
