Wow. What exactly is the point of saying these things when her background is many strips sewn into the other pieces-- not something you can just easily change, because someone else thinks you should. And did she ask for a critique of her color choices?

No. Ladies, I think some ideas are best left unsaid. This is Quilt Policing.

cmcleod, I think all of your quilts are lovely. Nothing wrong with any of them.

Love the attic window quilt. Looks like a piece of art hanging on the wall. I’m sure your husband will enjoy it!

I like the blue and Navy blue. It is a quite different quilt. I like them all.

Also, I used 2" strips for the window frame which worked for this one, since it is the panel was quite large, but if I do another one with a more delicate picture, I will probably use smaller window strips.

I plan to make this one also but am not sure how you adjusted for the seams on the picture. You trimmed the panel down...what does that mean? Sorry to be dense but would really like to understand how you got it so well balanced. Why did the 2" strips work better? Great work! Thanks for your reply.
