Update: I'm plodding along on this quilt and am not doing too badly. I've even come up with an idea to "fix" the icky star flowers where the points meet, but that would be a lot of work, so may not do it.
What I dislike most about this quilt: it is monotonous, too repetitive, I guess. I'm not sure that I know exactly. I'm almost finished a quilt top that I really like. I "borrowed" it from a 3" x 3" catalog picture and it is very traditional; only has 4 fabrics in it. I really like my kid quilt (she said modestly) -- photos posted Oct 14 under "Pics & Whine". I mailed it at mid-day on Friday and that's all the tracking report shows so far and that's really creeping me out.
I will attach 3 pics to this (2 finished and 1 top) that I like. The small tropical floral one is made mostly of leftovers from the Hawaiian shirt phase my girls went through when they were in high school in the '80's. The Looney Tunes character fabric was also a leftover from pants I made one of my daughters; she's worn the pants for years and they never fade, so I took all the Bugs, Daffy, and Taz and kept adding strips of color until I ended up with the quilt top. The paper piecing one started as an experiment in paper piecing, but I really can't do it well as I'm directionally challenged?? and so I made just a few PP blocks and decided to just "wing" the rest of the quilt.
