I really like your quilt top, and I like the dark fabric with it, I think that it looks really good. Keep going.
|
Oh ( love them both. You could leave them both on -the light & the dark look great. It looks balanced too!
|
Every project is like that for me. I put it away for awhile and eventually a light bulb goes off. Just give it a rest, maybe?
I like the light color best; I think the darker color doesn't quit go but that's me. Good luck. |
Bright & pretty ... I love color! You've received some very good advise here ... put it aside and work on something else for a while. When you get it back out, if you still don't love it, finish it anyway and donate it to a women's shelter or children's home. It WILL be loved!
|
I don't know what about it bothers you, but it is the olive green that hits my eye first. I think it takes away from the whole concept you are tryinhg to make. Why not substitute that green for a color in the printeed fabric?
|
OH, I really liek it. The colors look so good together. If you need to take a break, do it. BUT, be sure to come back to it. It is a real eye catcher.
|
I love the all yellow border. I think it is beautiful. please finish it you will be surprised
|
I like it with the lighter fabric, and I think it is very pretty, keep going.
|
That quilt is pretty! I think your addition of the pink would be better used as a narrow border rather than in the set-in triangles. It's also a wee bit too intense for the quilt.
I make the majority of my quilts for charity, and I can positively guarantee that some child is gonna just LOVE your quilt! |
Actually, I think it is really pretty. Maybe just put it aside, and when the need for a gift quilt comes up (and it will!) pull it out and finish it and give it away. It reminds me of feminine colors that would be used in a prayer quilt. Or, since it has a lot of pink it might also be a very nice donation to a hospital chemo ward.
BTW, welcome to the quilter's world of Unfinished Objects (UFOS), Projects in Grocery Sacks (PIGS), and Works in Progress (WIPS). I have several! |
I actually like the second one and bet it will become a favorite of yours after you finish and quilt it. Personally those that I wasn't the happiest with turned out to be my favorites when completed. You can always gift it to someone or donate it. Good Luck:-)

Try your blocks in a different lay out. Try to balance out the colors a different way. That is what I try before I give up for a future date. I take pictures with the camera of the different layouts and then decide how I want to do it. Just looking at the pictures sometimes helps you decide on which layout you like. From someone who has tons of ufos bacuse I find a new blocks design and have to just tryi it out.
|
Well I think it's beautiful and I prefer the light :-)
|
I love it...especially with the light, not the dark :)
|
I like a darker color - it frames the work like a matte on a painting :) Good work too!
|
I like the light. Send it to me and I will finish it!
|
Light and you can send it to me and I will finish it!
|
I really like the first photo, I think that one is great. I don't like the dark setting triangles in the 2nd photo.
Yes, I've had projects not turn out well. I also made D9P blocks that turned out butt ugly, no saving them for a quilt. I think I'll use them as backing of place mats or something cuz I won't throw them away. Or maybe cut them up some more to add to crumb blocks. |
I think the dark triangles added just the right accent. Now it just needs a border.
|
Basically I like it! I like the light corner triangles. Maybe you would like it if you put a couple of borders on it....a small dark inner border and a bit wider outer border (especially nifty if it is one of the quilt's fabrics). Finish it! If you still don't like it, donate it to a charity....some one would LOVE to have it!
|
I think it looks great with the light....not the dark. Once you get your borders on there and get it quilted and bound it will be done. And DONE is always PERFECT because it is getting another project finished! It really does look good and you are doing a great job!
For myself, I have to remember that every project I create will not always be the greatest most fantastic masterpiece. But, I really do enjoy the process and learn from each project. |
I like the dark... I think it gives it more contrast.
|
I like it with the lighter fabric. the red, not so much
I like the colors in your quilt. |
Unfortunately it happens to all of us at some point. Put it aside and when you go back to it if you still don't like it then do a little bit of work on it and put it aside again until it is done.
Because of the dark brown blocks I think the darker looks better. |
I am also having that problem at the moment. So I decided to put it aside for 2 WEEKS Then pick it up again and I have ripped out and done parts over. I will finish it and then give it away to someplace, I am so selfish in giving away quilts to strangers that I don't think are nice and yet the receiver of a not liked quilt by me, gets loved by them. So just finish it like I am going to do. -- J
|
Personally, I like it!!!!! Perhaps borders are the answer.
|
I have several UFO 's or PHD's. Our guild has a PHD (project half done) certificate program. You sign up at the beginning of the year all your PHDs then as you finish them you get a ticket for a drawing at the end of the year. You also get a PHD certificate for each one completed. Now to your quilt, I like the yellow setting triangles and would probably put a the pink print or the green as the border.
|
I love the light one!
|
I just love it. The lighter one caught my eye. The darker seems to pull my eyes towards it instead of the overall quilt.
I too get tired of something I am working on. I walk away for a few days and then go back |
I like the second one. The red seems to calm the dark color.
|
My "ugly" quilt is still unfinished & hanging around my sewing room going on 2 years. It keeps me humble!
|
I think the sashing would pop the squares and you would see how pretty they look. That seems to be the missing link in
the quilt. Offset blocks are something to me I need help with. |
Oh sweetie, think nothing of it. I just stuffed a Lonestar in a plastic bag and shoved it in the back of the closet this morning. :twisted: It won't go anywhere. Maybe sometime in this life I will try again.............
|
This is what we all call UFO'S- we all have them -feel no guilt , just keep quilting you, in time maybe 10 years will come back to them.
|
The second picture hands down. The first one looks as if it is mising something. The dark blocks really makes it pop!
|
Dark :thumbup:
|
I like the second picture better; however, both are lovely. Finish it - you'll be glad you did. If you still really don't like it, donate it to a cause.

I just finished a quilt made from "planned overs". DH said it is very dark, I don't like it. Then I put sashing and borders on, finished it, posted on FB and have been getting rave reviews on it. My grandson says he wants it! Sometimes it takes a different pair of eyes looking at it. I often find that when I am at the stage that you are I don't like the quilt but once the binding is on I quickly change my mind!
|
I like the dark.

I have all the blocks made and spread it out on the floor and I don't like it at all! I thought it might be the color of the setting triangles around the outside edge so I went and bought new fabric for that and replaced them but I still don't like it. There's just something about it and I can't quite put my finger on it. Now I don't even want to finish sewing it together. I want to move on to my next quilt but feel guilty about wasting fabric and leaving it unfinished.
