It is indeed a bit too busy for me... so I know where you are coming from.
Someone I used to sew with and I started making tree skirts - and had about 4 prints... and put them together and man oh man it is hideous. It is still in the ufo box. I am sure others would love it but it was too countrified for me. I might finish it and put it for sale on Etsy one of these days... I do want to start selling some things other than my crochet patterns on Etsy. It's just a matter of getting started lol.

Anyhoooo.
I'm sure that someone will absolutely love that quilt. You will find a home for it :)

I really like it. I'm also doing a D9P that has the crazy patchwork look to it. I love the look and think it's great!

I don't know what a D9P is suppose to look like, but I like this. I thing the red binding is really going to make this quilt complete. I'm sorry you're not happy, after all your work. I like it alot though. Would you like my address? :-)

I think it is beautiful. Many times when I am making something I'm not liking it until it is finished. I think once it is quilted you will be loving it. LOL in Christ, Happy Stitchin

Exactly my thoughts.

Does that happen with anyone else once they start working on a quilt?

The answer to your question is YES. I think it has happened to everyone at least once. If not, they are extremely lucky. I do think it is okay if you are not thrilled with something you make, but please be proud of the job you did. We are all human and have different preferences in color and style.

For example I really do not like old fashioned colors and fabrics. I am making an Underground Railroad Sampler and I am using all Fall colors, because there is just no way I can make a whole quilt with the dull colors of the time. Many people like those colors, but I just don't.

I made a sampler for one of my classes I taught. I used some of what I would call traditional colors and flowers. I have never liked it from day and I won't ever like it. Most people who see it have wonderful comments, the color just isn't what I like. I am glad you made me remember that quilt, when I find it I think I will give it away.
