I don't see anything wrong with it! I think that it is beautiful! :thumbup: Don't be hard on yourself. You did a wonderful job.

It is very peaceful and soft-looking. And I DO think it is impressive-looking! It's a work of art, and a work of love! She will love it!! It also says, "Come sit awhile on the beach and be comforted by the soft breezes and the sound of the waves."

I don't see a thing wrong with it!!!! It looks beautiful to me. Don't be so hard on yourself!!

I love your quilt - so soft and cuddly. What is it that didn't suit you? I sure couldn't find it.

MarthaT 05-10-2011 05:00 AM

I can soooooo identify with how you are feeling. I will make something ever so nice, but I'm always way too critical of the finished product, especially if I'm doing it for someone else. I'm learning to just ignore myself and listen to others. So listen to the ones who've posted here. You did great, the colors coordinate well, and you don't need to be afraid to pass it on to the person you so lovingly made it for.

roadrunr 05-10-2011 05:03 AM

I think it is beautiful, don't see anything wrong with it at all. She'll love it.

Joan Gaddis 05-10-2011 05:03 AM

looks great i don't see anything wrong.

A1penny 05-10-2011 05:05 AM

We are ALWAYS the most critical of our own work! You've read the replies you have from others.......everyone loves it, as I'm sure the woman it was meant for will also. And, it was made with love, that is what will be treasured most of all.

I love the color combo and the pattern is one where the blox flow into each other and you're not sure where they really start or stop. Love it and I'm sure your friend will, also. Can't see one thing about it not to love. Don't be so hard on yourself!

The quilt is gorgeous and I would not worry about a thing. Like everyone else - you are being to hard on yourself!!!
Be proud of the great quilt you made.

Pieceful Quilter 05-10-2011 05:11 AM

I think I must be missing the point. Is there supposed to be something wrong with this quilt? It looks lovely on my computer screen.

okiedee 05-10-2011 05:14 AM

It is gorgeous...I would be so proud to own that quilt. I love the color combo..great choice. Is that hand quilted?
What a treasure it is.

abdconsultant 05-10-2011 05:15 AM

The quilt is beautiful, she will love it.

stichinluvr 05-10-2011 05:18 AM

Gee, you can send it to me. I love it! I'm sure she will, too!

Debbie C 05-10-2011 05:18 AM

It's soft and easy on the eye - it's comfortingly beautiful. Don't be so hard on yourself - anyone of us here would be proud to have it in our homes. You did a lovely job!

luv2so 05-10-2011 05:30 AM

What don't you like about it? I think it's very pretty.

countrycottage 05-10-2011 05:31 AM

I think it's beautiful.

olebat 05-10-2011 05:33 AM

Thanks again for all of the warm comments. Two things need to be done. I forgot to add a label, and I want to make a matching tote so she can lug it around. I can just see her sitting on the little train which goes around the sea, tote with quilt in her lap, talking with others on the train. It was a friendly community when we were there last year. She's still getting use to the widow thing. With the tote, she can just explain the quilt by showing the blocks on the tote. I can't wait until our "son" sees it. I know he'll phone and try to translate all of her emotion. Gads! I wish that lad would get a computer, e-mail, Skype and Face Book.

redeagle 05-10-2011 05:44 AM

Who is this quilt for anyway, her or the neighbors? You did very well. She will be surprised and will show it off with pride!

mhansen6 05-10-2011 05:47 AM

I think it is lovely. Very beachy. You are way too critical of your own work. I just love it.

Becky Mc 05-10-2011 05:52 AM

From a distance makes me want to grab it and snuggle, colors are relaxing and looks wonderful. Beautiful Quilt

sananddandy 05-10-2011 05:54 AM

It looks very cozy and comfortable to me. I'll bet her child felt just that way when with you. Beautiful quilt.

Tudey 05-10-2011 05:56 AM

I'm still trying to figure out why your heart sank---it is a beautiful quilt!

hoppa 05-10-2011 05:57 AM

It is beautiful and s ee nothing wrong with it.

grendelskin 05-10-2011 05:57 AM

It's beautiful! I find that doing justice to a quilt in a photo is harder than making the quilt!

GGinMcKinney 05-10-2011 05:57 AM

I looked as closely as one can on a computer monitor. All I see is beauty and love. I second or third the question, "What is the problem? Why did your heart sink"? Don't see an issue. It is just beautiful!!!

CarrieAnne 05-10-2011 05:58 AM

I thinks it a BEAUTIFUL quilt. Love it!

cheryl222 05-10-2011 06:01 AM

I agree with everyone - I cannot see anything wrong with it. I think the recipient will be thrilled!

SuzyQ 05-10-2011 06:01 AM

I think it is gorgeous and she will be honored to receive it and will know it was made with love.

I don't think that you want a billboard. These colors are lucious and as for the neighbors....maybe they are color blind. Great quilt, incidentally.

GramaLaura 05-10-2011 06:07 AM

It's beautiful!!! You did a wonderful job with all of it.....love the quilting. It will be used and loved for many years to come :-D

k9dancer 05-10-2011 06:25 AM

What's the issue? I think it looks great.

MillieMoseley 05-10-2011 06:37 AM

OK if there is something wrong with it you are going to have to point it out. I think it is beautiful.

Diane C. 05-10-2011 06:39 AM

Looks great to me,it has that warm and cuddley look .Just waiting to be wrapped around somebody. Diane C

Chasing Hawk 05-10-2011 06:41 AM

My husband and I think it is a wonderful looking quilt.

Only thing the neighbors will be feeling is jealousy.....Because they won't have anything as fabulous as this quilt hanging from their balcony!

LindaaJR 05-10-2011 06:48 AM

It is a lovely quilt, very relaxing color combination. Take care.
