Just because it is not weird, flashy colors does not mean it is not beautiful because it really is. It looks llike a quilt made for comfort, not one making you want to jump and shout.

Not saying that Germans are like Poles, but I've made simple patchwork (that is PLAIN squares that are various colored, but usually color coordinated) and given them away. Several people have reported that theirs were stolen off clothes lines. Guess someone else liked them as well!

But I'm hoping that the Germans are more honest...they do have the reputation of being more so. :)

ARe you going to tell us the rest of your story...I am in suspense because I can't see anything wrong.

Ohmygosh!! Do we have to worry now about how photogenic our quilts are??
Yours is a very lovely quilt. As far as I can tell, without using a magnifying glass, it's perfect! If anyone is worrying about how it'll look in a picture, just don't let them take a picture of it. The recipient of the gift will love it. And don't ever tell her that you think it looks awful in a photo. That will be our little secret. :lol:

The quilting, well I may have gotten carried away and applied a little too much, I like loft, but this is still acceptable for what I wanted. It washed well, nothing came loose. It has cuttlebility. (Put that in your Funk 'n Wagner)

Then I hung it for a photo. It looks great up close, but it isn't photogenic. The neighbors won't be impressed from their flats as she hangs it out to air on her balcony. I looked at the 10 shots . . . and now you know the rest of the story.

I really do not see a thing wrong with it. a beautiful quilt...
