your layout is really pretty missy! agreed the colors are very subtle but there are times to be gently poked in the ribs than smacked with a 2x4!

I am thoroughly impressed with anyone who can piece CURVES. I am unable to at all so that in itself impresses me ALOT. Choosing colors is challenging. this is where I usually lean on the people in a LQS or mimic a pattern.

I'd love to take a nap, under that! It's lovely!!! What you find dull, I find relaxing.

I love the Drunkards Path pattern. I think your quilt is very pretty. However, if you think it is too bland, I agree with Tartan that you could use it as a base for a large applique of some sort. Maybe a deep purple Iris. That would work wonderfully with your shades of blue. But, if it were mine, I'd keep it as it is---soft, and inviting! Thanks for sharing.

Someone will absolutely love this quilt once it's completed. Monotone can be calming. I made a really colorful and beautiful quilt, but found out I really prefer calmness in my bedroom so I cannot use this quilt in my room because the colors gives off a feeling of excitement and movement. Therefore, my granddaughter scored and she was so happy to get it. I think the key here will be the quilting. It can turn out really well in spite of not having too much contrast. I still make mistakes at times when selecting fabric. Sometimes I think this and that fabric will work out and when I make the first couple of squares, it doesn't turn out quite as I had expected. Remember, every quilt is a lesson. Don't give up.

How about some glitzy thread for the quilting?

I happen to love bright colors. The more primary they are, the more I love them. However, not everyone in this
world is me. There are people who love pastels more than they love bright colors. Someone who loves pastels
will think this quilt is stunning. To each his or her own. That's what makes the world go around.

I agree. I made one I thought was not so great but the recipient loved it.

The very thing that you don't like about the quilt will be perfect for someone else. Many people like soft, calm, subtle colors and designs. Regardless, very nice job.

I agree... I think it's soothing. Someone will love & treasure this!
