Artistic interpretation of New York City
 

A panel was donated to the charity I sew for, and I added borders to get it to a size for a teenager. (We aim for 40" x 56" for the teens.) Now that I look at it all done, I should have used maybe red instead of the blue. :o It looks too much like sky!

P.S. Why can't I aim that camera so the picture is straight!? :D

This is a perfect teen quilt. I love it just the way it is - looks like a dream city with the blue on the sides ...

I like it just as it is. The dark blue is far enough from the sky blue that it's clearly not sky.

That's a WOW!

Great quilt. I agree--the blue is far enough away that it doesn't look like sky. I think red would be distracting and you'd maybe lose the buildings next to it.

Wow! Brilliant quilt. Very nice colourway

That turned out to be very pretty. I like it. I have issues with figuring out how to enhance a panel and make it turn out good. Every time someone uses a panel, I take notice and learn from it. Good job!

Very nice! I love what you did with the side borders.

nicely done

That is just beautiful. I wouldn't change anything. :)

i think it looks perfect. i love it, (from a New Yorker) a teen will love it

Very pretty. Nice donation that will make someone very happy

I think it turned out great.

it is very pretty!

I think you picked the right color - red would have been jarring, I think.

LOVE it. It looks like a floating city. BrendaK

That is one COOL quilt! Some teen is going to love it.

Love everything about your quilt.

You can always bind it in red. Great job!

Wonderful quilt. There is a teenager out there just waiting for this one.

I love that panel. What you have will make a great quilt. I have the panel in black/white. I was going to cut mine lengthwise and add some black/white blocks in the middle, maybe darker on the bottom and getting lighter near the tops of the buildings. I haven't quite figured it all out yet though.

The blue makes it look ethereal. Red would have drawn attention away from the cityscape. IMHO. Very nice.

Nicely done.

Very nice and I really like it the way it is. I don't think I would change a thing.

It is amazing! I really like the way you did the borders. Great job!

Love everything about this quilt! The colors are great! Someone is going to be excited to get it!

I agree with the others: I wouldn't change a thing!

very nice job!!!

Looks great.
