Very nice. I see the wow factor.
|
Agree, don't change a thing! It's lovely!
|
I think it's great. I wouldn't change a thing!
|
That looks like the Wow factor to me! Don't change a thing!! Your choices are right on. I think you have a good eye for color, texture and pattern!
|
Super nice - great fabric choices - keep it going.
|
The pattern is great! Just make sure that the 9 nine patch squares are very light and very dark and the big HST squares a decidedly medium, so you don't get blocks that look they are bleeding together. Mostly your choices are right on, but there are a few where the 9 patches block sort of runs into the HST colors. ( the paisley in the second and third row is what catches my eye). I love the design!
|
I agree with everyone. I really like it and would leave it alone.
|
WOW!!! I love it!!
|
You will not loose the pattern as there is a strong contrast between darks and light. I at times loose part of the pattern on purpose. Your pattern layout and fabric is stunning. Go for it!
|
I also love what you have done and the colors you have chosen. My only thought might be, if you want to break it up a little more is that you could try turning some of your HSTs into the Jacob's Ladder pattern, where the darks meet points and the lights meet points. All you would have to do is make some of the 9 patches opposite of the ones you have so the darks are on the corners for the light HSTs and the lights are on the corners for the dark HSTs. Except for the placement of the darks and lights, everything else is the same as you have it. I don't think this would add any more WOW factor than you already have, it would just be another way to break up the pattern in a large quilt.
|
I applaud your taking on this large of a project so early in your quilting ... a king size scares me now and I've been quilting for a number of years!
This is going to be a real beauty, the fabrics, colors and pattern play so well together. |
It is stunning as it. I wouldn't change a thing! :thumbup:
|
It is very nice. Don't change anything. Black and Brown quilts are so pretty.l I have the fabrics collected and black/brown quilt is on my bucket list.
|
Just great Don't change a thing!
|
WOW!!!! Wow!!!!!!

King size really scares me and I think i maybe should have went with a simpler pattern (this is a lot of sewing), and I am willing to change the pattern if it would be for the best. I really want it to be special and I'm just afraid that I will get it done and it wont have the wow factor. I would appreciate any thoughts and suggestions.

Why are you changing it? It's perfect just the way it is. Love it.
|
Don't change a thing . it already has the WOW . love it ...
|
Oh, this is just beautiful - love the colors and the patterns of the fabric.
|
:thumbup: WOW-WOW-WOW :thumbup:
|
I love it. It already has the WOW factor.
|
Keep doing what you are doing. Looks great!
|
I think it looks great.
|
I love it too!
|
the only place that you are loosing the contrast is where the HST is the same fabric as the nine patch below it. That is what I noticed when I squinted but overall I love the pattern!
|
It is going to be gorgeous. Love the pattern you have going. Don't change it.
|
Looks good, as is, to me. Thanks for sharing.
|
I think it is great the way it is. Go for it!
|
Already Wow! This is beautiful!
|
All I can say is WOW! Love it!
|
I love it and wouldn't change a thing
|
I really, really like it! Your DIL will love it too! Those are beautiful fabrics and the contrast is perfect.

That's really a nice pattern. It shows the different values
|
see if your library has Machine Quilting in Sections by Marti Mitchell (I think). you could finish sections and then sew those together to make it King size. black and brown. you may need more of those colors but it's looking wonderful so far!!
|
great quilt. and good contrast which will mean the pattern will not be lost. Your fabric choices are great. Don't let what others think worry you, just follow your gut and go. Your instincts seem right on!
