I love it and would definitely finish it. You may have gotten that reaction because those people are used to looking at Traditional quilts. Some people can't look past the "what they think it should look like"

It is wonderful the way it is but, I think with the right border it will dazzle.....Can't wait to see the finished quilt.

How creative! I love it!

I think it's lovely! Very creative.

I love it. Very creative. I would have made a mess of going off on my own like that. Great job. Quilt it and post please!!!

I think it's great. I love it. Please post a picture after its quilted.

I think it is really beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think it is wonderful.

Looks gorgeous! You certainly have a good eye. Certainly you should quilt it. It would be a shame to put it away.

By all means, finish it. It is lovely.
