    It's very pretty! However, I agree too many darks together keep it from being outstanding. But someday someone will fall in love with it and treasure it.

    I love the red one! So sorry that these wound up in the Salvation Army. I hope they made some quilter happy, though.

I gave both tops to my sister and she recently donated them to the Salvation Army. I wasted a lot of time and fabric on them.
    boston1954 I feel your pain. I laughed when you named your unloved quilts peace and passion. Someone may take these home and quilt them and love them. Thanks for sharing.

    I am hoping that they will each find a person who loves those colors.

    When I first looked ar it, I thought it a little flat, but seeing the closeup, I think it is beautiful.

    I love your quilt. I made one for my DH I knew I was going to be disappointed with it. It was just not my style.

    Personal tastes really vary... Boston1954, I think your red "Passion" quilt top is beautiful! (I am normally really into greens, but I have to say that the patterns and colour values in the green one don't appeal that much to me...)
