I love your quilt Top I think it is adorable and once it has been quilted it well look even better then it is now I bet.
Nice work :thumbup: |
Your quilt is lovely! Maybe it isn't quite what you were going for but I really like it. I would bind it with a brighter pink and put it aside for when I needed a special gift for someone.

Is this still 'just a top'?
If so: There are things you can easily do with this, but it WILL require some work. Keep telling yourself it will be worth it in the end. 1. First, take the quilt apart into blocks. 2. On the 3-strip block add a narrow border strip at the sides of the block like the graphic below. Use a much darker color that will accent your medium value fabrics, perhaps a deep/dark rose. 3. On the plain green floral blocks, add a deep/dark strip of perhaps the dark green in the leaves on 2 opposite sides of that block. 4. Reassemble the quilt as you pieced it before. 5. If you have any of the green floral fabric left, make a narrow border all around the top, about 2/3 the width of the cut strips in your blocks. 6. Add a dark green then a dark rose border. 7. Bind with the pale pink floral fabric which will be pretty against the dark rose border. I’m betting you’ll love it after this effort because all you really need in it is contrast! Jan in VA |
I don't think its ugly at all, I love shabby chic decorating style so I really like the fabric.

I do not think it is ugly, if just isn't finished yet. I would use some of that dark solid pink color in the flowers for a inner border and try to pick up some green for another border. I think it would make a great Shabby Chic Pinic Quilt or Tablecloth Quilt for outside. Keep going, remember you are in charge of the quilt.

Ok! I was looking for something hideous!! I actually like it.....I agree with the comment from vicki w, add a couple of solid borders. You'll have to post after it's completely quilted............oh and by the way, you can just send it to me, I'll take it, lol, if you don't like it :)

That's a good idea. Tho I think a solid red/rose/pink (whatever that darlest color is) inner border with a floral outer border would be good, too.
Personally, I don't think it's ugly at all. I think it has a rather shabby chic vibe to it & I like it. |
I like it!
