Oh,lucky you! Wanted to make my Sis a throw & after buying fabric, she changed colors,pattern etc.Every day brought a diff change.After she remarked she didn't like squares in quilts, I told her I just didn't have anything to suit her.She was fine, no prob. So now I have fabric in color I don't care for.....but at least I don't have to work with them. :(
I too am my own quilt police. I have been very hard on myself, and it was'nt until I made a post, showing the start of my bagello. I was told by many that I was too hard on myself. DH tells me that I am doing really well, and that the quilts I make look great.
I just wrote my youngest sister. I will be making her a quilt down the line. I asked her color preference and if she had any idea of what she might like, floral, oceans, desert...
She said both her and DH love blue, like oceans and sky. I have looked around and have not found anything that really catches my eye. I wrote back and asked her for, what else she might be interested in. She wrote back, and said, you have a good eye for color. I know whatever you come up with will be beautiful and is made with lots of love.
