It's a beautiful quilt.

Not every quilt needs to be bright, colourful and dramatic. Nor do these types of quilts suit every person and/or every home.

This one is more soft, subtle and subdued. You've done a great job of the points and matches.

And have done yourself proud!

I think the neighbors will be very impressed and probably envious, too. Her quilt will be shown to everyone and they'll agree the American quilt is beautiful because it is.

Beautiful quilt

There's something wrong with it..even with my NEW glasses on..I dont see a problem...great job!

I am looking for a mistake, but don't see one.

It's beautiful. Maybe she won't air it from her balcony anyway. My mom never did--maybe it's because we lived in a one-story house! :)

Anyway...I like it and I'm not sure why your heart sank. I'm only on page one of the thread, so I'll continue reading to see if you explained why. From my computer chair, it is beautiful--and that is farther than the neighbor's house--guaranteed!

You're right, it needs a little something. Like my bed under it. Seriously though, it's beautiful, I can't see a thing wrong with it so I don't know why you'd be upset about it, I'd be proud as punch if I managed to create a quilt like that.

I think it's beautiful. I'd be proud to hang that on my clothesline. If I had one. Heck, I'd put one up for that.

I love it. Sometimes you get just burned out of the fabric of the the quilt. It is time for it to go to its new home and be appreciated. It is VERY PRETTY.

Have you stared holes in it from looking at it too long? The person who gets this quilt is gonna love it and cherish it forever! After you give it to her, please come back on thes board and give us her side of the story!!! (Maybe a picture of her snuggled up with it and a big smile on her face!)
Hey, Olebat, you did good!

I too have a quilt that doesnt really look like much when you look at the whole thing form a distance, but looking out over it when it is pulled up around me is quite another thing, and I bet yours is too!

It's beautiful.

I am 3/4 + German and I would be PROUD to hand that quilt on my clothesline!!

I think it's beautiful. What do you mean it isn't photogenic?

That is a very pretty quilt. I like it. And who cares if the neighbors don't like it. Its hers and if she wants to hang it out on the clothes line she can...but I wouldn't leave it unattended while it was out there. Things have a habit of growing legs and walking off. :)

That quilt is Lovely. I love those colors. Please don't be so hard on yourself. The person receiving that quilt will only love it and lovingly think about the person that gave it to them.

The quilt is very pretty just like you made it. Some quilts need the high contrasting colors that are opposite each other on the color wheel.

She will love it.

Beautiful quilt!

I would love to see it from the balcony. The colors blend lovely. And I always love any type of stars. She will love it. If not send it to me I will give it love....

Hey, it could come live at my house!!!! I think its lovely.

Very pretty beachy looking

How beautiful! Your narrative warms the heart and the second photo! My goodness, how delightful!

I like it. It has nice contras

The picture that really counts is the one you describe of your intentions while doing this quilt! What you did with your hands, you are giving with your heart! I'm sure it will be received with joy.

I like it...send it to me!!!!!! Your friend will absolutely love it......

I love it...what is the problem? It has a soft, warm look to it.

....I have to ask the same question - what is wrong with it? It's gorgeous!

That is a gorgeous quilt.

Oh how I love this! The sky blue color makes me feel happy. I'd definitely look twice (or more) if I saw it on a clothesline.

Beautiful!

Um, am I missing something?? It's beautiful!

Beautiful.

I see no problems there. It looks great!

I think your quilt is absolutely marvelous! Your friend will be proud to show it off and use it! your workmanship on this quilt is very professional. I may be a little biased because I love that fabric line. It came out right after we bought a house on the lake. I finally got every fabric in the line after visiting 2 Joann stores and Joann.com. I'm just starting to work with it.
Relax-your friend WILL LOVE IT!

I love the colors of sand and sky. I agree with the others...what's wrong with it? Maybe it didn't meet your vision of what you wanted it to be, but it's gorgeous!

I think it's beautiful and I'm sure she will too. Such a nice gesture.

If she doesn't like it, here's another home for it!

Beautiful !! :-D
I just love the softness of it & it would feel so great to cuddle in !! :-D

It will be loved forever and a day !! :-D

there are a lot of things in this world that need to be seen up close to be appreciated, but your quilt isn't one of them. It is beautiful and I am absitively posolutely certain that it will be loved and used often.

I am not understanding why no one will be impressed, I think it is fab!

Your worried about impressing the neighbors? From the looks of this lovely quilt you have nothing to worry about and your friend will be overjoyed - TRUST ME!

I feel it is one of the most beautiful quilts Ive seen, makes me want to wrap up and take a nap. Sometimes our own expectations get in the way of the real meaning of why we made it. If the recipiant will love it isnt that the whole point. DEB
