I just started making a quilt that I am pretty sure only I could love, much less like. Have any of you ever done that? I have shown my progress to a few quilters and gotten very lukewarm responses, like "Isn't that interesting..."
It doesn't bother me. I am enjoying making this quilt and I think I will love it. The pattern is Nebula by Eileen Wright. It is a Bargello. Mine will be 20 shades of purple, and I think it is going to end up looking like a really weird purple UFO (as in alien spacecraft not un-finished project) in an alien purple sky.
So far I have the middle section roughly pinned to my design wall, but here is what it looks like. I know it is weird. I love purple and have never claimed to be a traditional quilter.
And the quilt is for me, so I don't need to worry about pleasing anyone.
But my question is really what I asked. Have you ever made a quilt that only you could love?
