This happened to me once. I have a very dear friend who asked me to make a quilt for her. I agreed and she picked out a quilt with my least favroite colors. I had a hard time at the beginning but as I worked with I began to get used to it. In fact I almost liked it when I was finished.
So if she likes it make it and enjoy the process.

I love it. Batiks are so pretty and when cut you never know how they are going to look. I think it will be a beautiful quilt. Keep on going.

Its great Border each block in a dominant colour. You are stuck with it that why I do not make quilts for people and let them choose their colours etc I got caught like that once and hated doing it but had to. LIve and learn I make a quilt now and if they like it they but it. Carmen Australia

It is what your sister wants, and that is what is important. Last year I was asked to make some vests for a very large lady. She got the fabric and it was UGLY, but she was thrilled with them and that is all that matters. I threw all the leftover scraps in the trash so I didn't have to look at them again.

I, too, think it's gorgeous. Those are today's colors. I think it will be beyond beautiful.

I have that pattern plus the DVD haven't done anything with it yet but now that I've seen yours, I absolutely love your block far more than the original colors in the book. I think it's beautiful :)
