My Cactus Wreath quilt ... Did I screw up?
1 Attachment(s)
I just finished piecing this top but a couple minutes ago. I wish I had a better place to hang it because it looks kinda wrinkly. But it is square and flatly pieced ... honest! LOL.
The pattern is by cozy quilts, called cactus wreath. I had a hard time making it scrappy like they had it, so this is my take on it. I hope you like it. I am not sure if I do or not. I changed the cactus flowers and the long wreath sections to create a white distance between the wreath and the nosegay cactus blocks. Also I would like to say, the dark green isn't as dark as it is showing. Sorry bad pic because of the lighting. |
I forgot to mention the outside border and some of the pieces in the cactus are a red background with gold poinsettias and it is 72"x72".

Why do you feel like you screwed up? Are you not happy with it? You don't have to make quilts that look like the picture ;-)

That is really pretty and looks so Christmasey.

nothing wrong in my estimation! great job!

Thanks everyone. I am not sure that I like the light green center and the medium green wreath. I also wonder if I should add another border to the outside to balance out the red/green in the quilt with the borders.
What do you all think? Another medium green border would make it come out to 85"x85". That isn't a problem, but I would have to check the width of my batting to make sure it is large enough. Sheesh... I hate it when I am so undecided. |
It is beautiful. It looks Christmasy, but not so much so that you couldn't usse it other times, unless the red poinsettias show up more than in the picture. I love it.
|
Love it!!! It's beautiful!!!
