it looked easy
 

but its the worst quilt I've made.its about my 5th quilt . the blocks came out crooked and mis-sizedand my points don't match. i started out on curves and my blocks came out
nice and even and my points match..maybe someone else
has tried this pattern and can tell me if it worked for them.
Trade Winds for Bali Pops. First time I used jelly rolls and of course I failed to pick a contrasty enough fabric for the triangle.

I like it!

I think it is very pretty in a scrappy kinda way!

Looks great from My house:) Love the fabrics. Give yourself a break.....It's beautiful!

I like it too.

As for your points not matching - I don't see it. Stand back about 10 feet - if you can't see the points that don't match, they don't exist. :)

It has a wonderful watercolor look to it and softly spins. My eye wandered over it and liked the feel it has.

I think you are being too hard on yourself - it is beautiful!!!! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Looks good to me.

You are too close to the subject!! Keep it or give it to someone who knows nothing about quilting...and they will adore it!!!

I think it looks great! The things that are bothering you are really not very noticeable. We're always more critical of our own work.

Just an FYI - Bali Pops (any brand really) are not always cut exactly at 2-1/2"...that may be one reason you had difficulty. Another tip is to use spray starch on anything that will end up with bias edges once you start cutting.

I think it looks great!!!

It is a very bright and pretty quilt, where are the mistakes I don't see any, keep going, it's great.

Looks fine to me.

It's pretty. Love the colors. :)

I think you need to stop worrying & just enjoy it!

And it's still very pretty.

Pretty! Love the colors!

I like it...needs a border...it really does look nice!!

I like it a lot. It's probably the bias edges that caused your troubles. They get wonky so easily.

Me too, remember us quilters are own worst critics, I can't see the probs and I expect no one else can but you :wink:

I totally disagree with you. I think it's beautiful!!! :D

you could always send it to me lol it looks great

Looks great to me. Love the colors and the pattern.

Looks good, I like it.
Pretty colors too; you did an awesome job.

I like it. Points matching - at one time I was obsessed with that, and therefore very discouraged. Then I saw a quilt on a quilting magazine cover where the points didn't match...and stopped worrying about it.

My thoughts exactly. Have to be so careful with bias work.

I agree with the others. I like it.

when I read what you said about no contrast, and then scrolled down to photo #1,,,my thought was,,"you were right", but I loved the colors,,,,then I scrolled to photo #2 and WOW !!! all I could think was WOW....WOW....I love it..!!!! to me you didn 't need the contrast !!!! It's beautiful...

Looks ok to me!! Little busy for me but nice!!

First thing I notice is that it's the pieces cut on bias that seem to not line up. When you have bias pieces you have to be very careful not to stretch the piece. I think that may have been the issue here.

But overall it's a wonderful quilt...and I think it all sort of blending is fine.

Consider it a learning experience and go on with the new skills. I remember some of my early quilts!! Oh My!! But I kept going and learned as I went. It's a process every new quilter goes through.

Ditto!

From my computer screen, it sure looks nice to me!!!

Hi I live in Kent - I just galloped by your house and didn't see any mistakes :wink: It looks great to me from any distance. Love the colors.

I like it too!

I happen to like it!

i'm with the rest.. :) i like it. when I tell a friend of mine how good she is .. she points out the "flaws" I told her if you have to point it out YOU ARE GOOD! enjoy your quilt! :):):)

I like it too. maybe a little bit more contrast would have made the pinwheels "pop" but i like it as is. i was gonna say you can send it to me but somone beat me to the punch. I have had that pattern planned as my next but now I am a little intimidated about the whole bias thing. Which bali pop is that?

I think it's beautiful.

I read your statement but I think it is really neat. I like the way the colors play with the patterns. I did not see missed points. I did not see any quilt police standing by.

someone else posted a pic of a Trade Winds quilt recently.
try pressing your seams open too. that might help.
