This quilt is beautiful. If the blue corners bother you, what about quilting the corners with dark brown thread to break up the blue a little bit? Just a thought but not really necessary.

You've done a great job and I like the colors in the waves. A day for a top is not a long time. You should be proud of yourself for trying something new and for the way it turned out.

No no, it wasn't one day, we go for 4 days, Thursday to Sunday. I started this Thursday afternoon and finished it Saturday evening. I was worn out. All I did after that was help the others with some of their blocks. ha I just don't know if I'll try another or not. :oops:

Gorgeous quilt. I love the colors you chose and the pattern is great. I love quilts like this that have a lot of movement to them.
