finished another quilt top in January
 

i am very happy with this quilt- it is so bright- it just (SINGS) to me :)
i Love making French Braid Quilts- they are enjoyable to me- and this one did not take me long- i still have to quilt and bind it of course-but the top is finished
it all started with trying to figure out a 'hot pink & black quilt' for my neice-
i was trying to use my stash only- (which i did)
i loved working on it- and was so proud of it when i got it done- i took it to show it off a bit and was informed by a number of people i
REALLY MISSED THE MARK! as far as a pink quilt goes- it's way too orange---
so---
neice won't be getting this one- i will try again- but i still love this one- even if it is more orange than pink :)
it was nice to make a whole quilt without having to 'shop'
i finally used some fabrics i've had on the shelves for 2 or 3 years that i just couldn't seem to figure out what to do with-
i am happy i waited for this quilt to use them.
ok- i'll stop patting myself on the back & show you the picture...

Well, I think it is beautiful! Keep it for yourself. I love it. Barny

WOW that is beautiful! if that is missing the mark, well too bad for them. I think your color selection is wonderful

Beautiful! You need to keep this one for you! (Or send it to me if you feel guilty about keeping it...:))

WOW, great colors, love it!!!

It is beauriful.

thanks everyone- i probably won't keep it- it sings to me- i love it- but i have a young granddaughter who LOVES orange---and she will be turning 12 next year- time for replacing the (child like princess quilt) with something a little more grown up- i'm thinking i might actually do a little embellishing on it--not that it necessarily needs it- but i may add something to it and finish it up for a really early done gift---she would LOVE IT too...she is a child after my own heart :)
and her older sister recieved (Ashley's Ocean) bargello quilt for her 12th birthday---so anyhow-
i'm so glad to read that it's not just me---that others like it too- last weekend had me feeling kind of down about it---thanks for boosting me back up :)

Much to pretty to gift, she will be very excited, your quilt is beautiful.

I just love that quilt ... it sings to me too! And I'm sure you're 12 yr old GD will love it as much as you do...

WOW...that is gorgeous. I could NEVER come up with something that looks that great with all of those different fabrics.

I love it and she might as well, orange and pink are wonderful together, are you going to ask her?

I love it! I like orange better than pink anyway.

It is beautiful, you can sent it to me! Maybe not enough pink, but looks perfect to me.

Love it, I can hear the music.

I love the colors. It is beautiful.

Wow, your quilt is stunning. Im sure your granddaughter would love to receive it!

I'm thinking that you should just send it to me! That is one gorgeous hunk of a quilt! I love it.

Gorgeous! Glad you get to keep it.

That is so stunning. I love the colors. I would keep it for myself since it's so cool.

Beautiful colors!!!!

WOW! It's gorgeous! I love the color combo.

I think it looks like a sunset!

This quilt is very pretty, I love the pattern.

That is spectacular! The colors all play together perfectly I can't believe you pulled this out of your stash. Wow. So much energy and movement, you just want to keep looking at it. Please post it again after it's quilted!

It's beautiful, even if it is orangishpink! I'll take it any time:thumbup::thumbup:

Awesome quilt.

Great color scheme!! One of the prettiest FB I've seen.

Wow...it sings to me too! I think it's fantastic . Great job

This can't be topped. I bet she would like this one better than a pink one. If it needs a home I would volunteer to take it off your hands. Breathtakingly beautiful.

This is very pretty.

I like French Braids, too! It was my first quilt. Yours is beautiful.

This is a beautiful quilt - colors great - no doubt about it. Anyone should love it.

Nicely done. But no it is not pink or hot pink. Nice use of your stash! Luann
