New type of quilt for me!
#21
I always tend to pick my quilts apart as a I am working on them, rethinking the colors, layout, etc. But I agree with the other girls, once you get it finished, with the added dimension of the quilting and binding/borders etc. You will like it better.I would keep the border/s on the simple side and let the blocks do the talking~ I cant wait to see it finished. How much more do you have to do?

I do really like several of the blocks, not sure if I like them all together. I do appreciate all the work that went into the quilts I saw, just not my cup of tea (I am wondering is the pattern really $50.00)

Personally, I think that this pattern would benefit from having some sashing between the blocks. Your piecing is fantastic, though - wonderful job there. And the applique block is just beautiful - I'm always envious of other people's applique work, as I completely bomb that.
So, yes, I agree with you, the pattern (as is) is too busy. However, I think that with some very narrow sashing, and some Civil War repro fabrics, this would be outstanding.
Just my opinion, and you DID ask for it, right?
Still, I'd love to see the finished quilt once you're done. Again, great job on the piecing and applique!!

Okay, I'm a traditional quilter. This is just a section of a quilt I'm making for my LQS as a sample for their shop. I'm still not so sure I like it. It's so busy and there are so many different blocks.... 23 in total. Again, this is just a section. Is it too busy for you, too?
The name of the quilt is Green Tea and Sweet Beans by Jen Kingwell, an Austrialian designer and I need to get it done so I can get back to my Little Brown Bird quilt.
