WOW! I think it is beautiful. I do love orange as it is my favorite color. This quilt is totally awesome. I don't see a thing wrong with it. I would be honored to have this quilt given to me.

That is a great quilt! It's a bit wonky, and its very bright. I love bright!!! BUT its not horrible by any means!! It would need to be given to someone who loved the colours, I liked the idea of putting it on your chair and seeing who admired it most. Give the girl no one liked a nice quilt, its better for your soul - of course if she loves modern orange give her this one!!!!!!

I like this quilt too....and what a great idea. As for the "unlikeable, pregnant girl" give her something you find pleasing/beautiful, that would be a good thing to do.

I like it! Very Bright and cheery- you could always applique something on it to break it up- maybe a blue elephant or something like that, either way its very nice>

I did this one in light and medium blues and presented it as a baby shower gift last week. I like your bright colors, good for bigger child....

How sad that no one likes her...it must make it awfully hard for her to get up everyday and go to work having everyone treat her that way. I'd want to make HER a quilt, too, just to set an example for others.

DebbE, you and many others have posted advice similar to this, and I agree with you that I probably should not give it to her. I have 2 more girl baby quilts completed: one purple and one pink - so I think I may give the orange one to charity as so many of you have suggested.

I also think that it would be terrible to not be liked at work, but some of it is self-induced on her part. Regardless, I'd rather have it where most everyone likes working with me. This is one of the reasons why I give a quilt to anyone in my branch: because I am their manager and I don't want it to look like I am picking favourites , and also because I love to quilt.

Thanks everyone for your comments and advice!
