The least favorite quilt I made was for a friend, who had sewn strips of fabrics from her stash and left overs from various projects over the years. Her one stipulation was that I HAD to use red sashing in the quilt. Throughout the entire process of making the quilt I kept saying to myself "Red is a neutral, red is a neutral", something I'd heard a national quilter say once. My DS and DH said it was a great quilt, but I had reservations. She, on the other hand was so elated to get the quilt, and asked if she could pass it off as a quilt she made as she was 80 years young then. I told her that was fine and a dear friend made 2 more just like it for her, as I had other commitments at the time, so there was a quilt for each of her 3 daughters. That's about the only quilt I wasn't happy working on, even now, years later.
