I'm sorry VICKIM but that quilt top is not attractive!

I have two. A fun and done that was not fun and I was so glad it was done. After fighting that "easy quilt" I read on here that you should never use poly batting because it is so thick. Wish I would have known that BEFORE I started. LOL! The other is a Bonnie Hunter stepping stones. It was one of my first quilts after joining this group. I used 30's fabric and the stepping stones were black and white. I really liked it until someone made the comment that they didn't like it because my color choices were so wrong. The black and White just didn't go with those repro fabrics. I think I will go get it out and see if I don't like it because my pride was hurt. I have more confidence now. I actually think picking colors is my strong suit. I may just like it.

And that fun and done is thrown in the back of my Jeep and used at picnics and soccer games. The seams are coming apart and it is not going to get fixed.

I made a queen size Card Tricks quilt, had a fat batt in it and was hand quilted every half inch with black quilting thread. It was a hard to quilt. I broke and bent many a needle,it was missing many points. It took 7 yrs to finish. I gifted it DH's Aunt, she just loved it, I named it "The Pointless Card Game".

That made me laugh out loud. I hope you didn't say "gosh that is still ugly" to them. Thanks for the chuckle.

The one I hated was a simple framed rectangle pattern. I was trying to make it bright and colorful for aTeenager charity quilt, but my fabric selections were just awful. All those colors mixed together in the blocks looked like my dog ate a box of crayons and vomited all over the quilt!!! I am still trying to salvage the blocks, have not sewn them together yet. I am thinking about putting WIDE black strips between the blocks to tone it down and make 3 different quilts from that stack of blocks. I actually toyed with the idea of starting an ugly quilt thread on this board but didn't know if others would be Interested in doing that!

I totally agree!!! LOL That's why I thought it'd make a good practice quilt...& then the dog can have it!:D:D

Yes, and I gave it away to the community service group at the guild. The ladies took it apart and made really cute cuddle quilts out of it.

There is always something to learn. I think it would have looked better if the dark pink and the medium pink had been put into a place where they would make the "Z". It isn't all that bad like it is, but I hope you can be happy that someone else can learn from your mistakes. We live and learn

I agree. This one would have looked better with the inside "picture" left off, and just use the strips. The picture part could have other borders. Nice fabrics. I love all the scraps sewn together.

I'm starting to hate one of my current UFOs. I promised my just-married sister and her husband a quilt for their bed, made from their old tee shirts. They ended up getting a king bed.

I did not anticipate how much work such a big quilt would be. I'm currently sitting at 5 out of 36 of its squares finished, and will then have to join them together and do a nice big border.

Not having much fun working on it, and not seeing how I can have it finished by my goal time, their first anniversary at the end of May.

I have a couple that I ended up hating.

#1 - A quilt I'd planned to make as a wedding gift for a relative, in her wedding colors. The fabric was expensive, and I'm sorry to say that her color combination (celery green and silver) was just icky to me. It's a long story (too much to go into), but she managed to prove herself as being "not quilt worthy" before the quilt was finished. I ended up giving her something else, and tossed the STILL-unfinished quilt into my UFO pile, where it's been for probably 3 years now.

#2 - A totally scrappy lap quilt that I threw together. I normally like scrappies, but this one is ALL OVER THE PLACE. It's got everything from elegant roses to Spiderman to "dated" 80's fabrics, and there is no actual pattern to it ... just rows of random blocks sewn together. I didn't even make the blocks the same sizes, so nothing lines up. I stuck a price tag on it and took it to some craft fairs along with my regular quilts, and interestingly, it gets a lot of attention. It still hasn't sold, though. :p

Oh! I thought of one more. It was a panel with a castle on it. The panel itself was pretty, but if you looked at it closely, one of the castle towers looked like a ... (ahem!) ... "male appendage"! :o Unfortunately I didn't notice the resemblance until after I'd finished the quilt. Edit: The panel is called Avlyn Goose Girl Castle. Go look it up on eBay if you want to see a photo! LOL! :D

I had one. It was a BOM & I hated the modern designs, but I finished it because I was learning lots of techniques that were new to me. Just as I was going to have a quilt top bonfire with it, my granddaughter told me she loved it, so of course I toughed it out 'til the end because I love her dearly!! Thankfully, I never have to see it again!!! :-)
