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.

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.

Looks good to me.

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: |
I like it very much...sometimes we are our own worst critic, enjoy this beautiful quilt...

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 kindly beg to differ. It is beautiful!
|
Your quilt is a real beauty!! Lovely fabrics, a great pattern, and terrific quilting! Give yourself a pat on the back! :)
|
I must have missed something as I do not see a thing wrong with it? Where is the bad areas or what are you talking about. It is beautiful and you did a good job, why would you not like it? If the neighbors don't like it fine it is not for them anyway. Enjoy it you did great.
|
What's the problem with the quilt....I couldn't see it. I think it's beautiful.
|
I would love to be her neighbor and look at that beautiful quilt!!
|
Such a lovely quilt, so give with confidence you did a good job.
|
My favorite color blue and it is beautiful!!!
|
The quilt is beautiful. The quilting is stunning. I think the recipient will treasure it forever. Go outside, take a little walk and smell the fresh air. Come back in and open your eyes wide. Wouldn't you be absolutely delighted if someone made you such an exquisite quilt?
|
i think she will have the prettiest balcony in the neighborhood.
|
The quilt is gorgeous but I really like the smiling face peeking out from under the quilt
|
I don't see anything wrong with it. Like your colors. Think your friend will love it!
|
I love it. It's not supposed to jump off the balcony and knock the neighbors over. :D
Subtlety is a good thing! |
not bad a gift of kindness and fronm the heart mail it to me :thumbup:
|
Well, we are usually critical of our own work, but like all the others I see a beautiful quilt that has lots of love stitched into it.
|
I sure think that it is pretty.
|
I think it's gorgeous!
|
Are you kidding me? It is absolutely gorgeous..........
|
what it doesn't loose is that it was made by someone who took their time to make it. Also that it has a lot of careing sewn in. If it were on my line it would look GREAT!
|
It is BEAUTIFUL - you're too critical of yourself. I'm sure it will be well love & appreciated. :thumbup:
|
you need to get your eyes checked. the quilt is worthy of airing on the balcony. be happy and proud, i'm sure she will be.
|
It's beautiful! I would love looking at it hanging on the balcony as a neighbor!
|
That is a beautiful quilt. Why did your heart sink?? I'm confused?? You should have this put in "Pictures" so everyone over there, who doesn't come here, will see it. LOVE the pattern.
|
I love the quilt and the colors in it - it's very soothing looking. Who wouldn't want to wrap up in it?
|
I think that it looks great!
|
I think you did a great job. I'm sure it will be loved.
|
I think it is lovely. Soft, delicate, cozy, has cuddlebility, and I like it a lot!
|
There's nothing wrong with the quilt, it's absolutely gorgeous ❤ it. I think it's the background you chose, that's why you think it doesn't photograph too well. Perhaps try again and I'm sure you'll love it.
|
It's beautiful!
|
I really like the quilt, and love the way you described it! your an expressive soul! ;)
|
Looks great to me.
|
Very pretty. So soft and cuddly looking.

I made one just like yours at a quilting class in 2010 at Joann's. My husband loves lighthouses and he helped me when I had a few issues with putting it together. Mine is just a little smaller. I don't remember the size. Mine is 5 blocks across and 5 blocks down. When I was making it, I was not real happy with it at the end. I think I was tired of making it. Now when I look at it, I love it. It looks nice when it's in the lighting in my home. I only stitched in the ditch.
I think your quilt and the quilting look beautiful. |
