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.

Wedding ring: using acrylic templates. I just couldn't stitch the curved sections correctly. Maybe I need to dig this 2 decade old UFO and see if I STILL have the problem !!

My least favorite quilt was one I was forced to make for a customer lately. She had just jumped all over me for not using ALL of the fabric bits she sent for the last quilt, so I knew she expected me to use everything in this recent quilt. It is so ugly. The center panel is cute and has potential, but she sent all odd scraps to frame it with. (My choice, how.) Then she sent some yardage to be used for sashing, borders, etc. It totally didn't work because the center panel and scraps were all brights, and the yardage was an ugly dull rose color! Here the thing is... if you dare look:

She never said a word about it once she got it back, so I suspect she didn't like it either! Not my fault!

I really don't like quilts made with pre-printed cross stitched embroidered blocks.

I made a quilt that had about a zillion flying geese in it. I hated that one so much and couldn't wait to get it finished and out of the house. I think I tore up the pattern into teeny, tiny pieces before disposing of it! Now I try to avoid patterns with geese.

I hesitated when my DS asked for an ORANGE quilt, but I loved it when it was done. The one I still am not fond of, was a baby quilt. Requested theme was cowgirl. LOVED the fabrics, but there was not enough contrast in the block and the piecing got lost. The mom loved it...good thing!
