Have you ever thought about doing something, planned for it, dreamed of it, wanted it...only to be REALLY disappointed with the outcome when you finally did it?

Ever wonder why I haven't yet posted pictures of the finished, bound and washed whole-cloth quilt even though it's been done for a few weeks now??? Well...I'm just really disappointed in what it looks like.

Since washing out the blue markings basically, it looks like one big blob of white. :( The center medallion doesn't show up AT ALL! :( I'm really disappointed in it. I really should have done the quilting in a colored or variegated thread so the design would show up better.

I've been so disappointed in this quilt, that I haven't even put it on our bed to use. I've had it folded up on a quilt rack with the BACK side showing.

At least the back has something interesting to look at. I really love the black and white toile fabric.

I spent 9 months hand quilting it only to be disappointed in the outcome. However, I did learn a valuable lesson...I actually LIKE to see the stitching in my quilts! In the past I have done everything I could to make my stitches virtually invisible. But no more! I want to see the stitching and the design!

For what it's worth, I do see the beautiful quilting - and I think it looks amazing.

*Edited to add* If you're really that disappointed, I'd be happy to take it off your hands. :) :lol:

Perhaps a pillow with a little color might help you!

Ah, live and learn.

I, too, think it's beautiful. I can't believe that you hand quilted all of that! I doubt I will ever hand quilt anything, at least anything big!

Ohhh, I'm sorry you're disappointed in it! It really is lovely. And I agree- the backing fabric is gorgeous.
