Stop, stop, stop beating yourself up. Your quilt is very lovely, lots of beautiful work:)
|
I laugh not at you but because I had the same experience with the quilt called around the world. When finished with the top, I noticed the it was off center. Therefore the name was off around the world. We are our own worse critics. From my point of view, it is very unique and beautiful.

Love your colors also |
Anyone with doubts about the value of their quilts should go look at those made by the women of Gees Bend.
These are all human endeavors and mistakes are part of humanity. Your colors are wonderful, the variety is interesting and the mistakes are going to be worth telling about for generations. That is what it means to be immortal... |
None of us make a perfect quilt. I think it is lovely and you should be proud mistakes and all. Your creative design alone is a masterpiece
|
The colors are rather bland, and looks like a hodgebodge of blocks that were left over from other projects.
But we learn from our mistakes, and know the next quilt will be better. :0) |
I thought the off centeredness was part of the design! It makes it more interesting than if everything were lined up perfectly. It's a beautiful quilt.
|
I think it is lovely. As for the center not centered, have you seen some of the "modern" quilts? Not "bland" at all, I find it peaceful and comforting, not all quilts have to scream "Look at me, I'm obnoxious"!! If you hate it, LOL, send it to me!!
|
Those are not mistakes - they are design elements - the quilt is beautiful

Beautiful quilt.
|
Great quilt, no mistakes anywhere. If no-one likes it don't forget that my favourite colour is blue and I am French. LOL
Thank you for sharing, I love your quilt. |
It really looks good from here! I know I am alway sooooo critical of my own quilts.....however, six months later, I can't find one of the mistakes I obsessed over as I finished it. Put it a way for a couple of weeks, then bring it out, and you'll wonder who the maker of this marvelous quilt is! (YES, it's YOU!)

Forget any mistakes you think are there. It's a beautiful quilt!!! Beautiful colors!! Wish it were mine!!!!
|
Looks beautiful to me. I wouldn't have realized anything was off if you had not pointed it out. I just thought it was a great quilt. We are hardest on ourselves!
|
It looks lovely and the slight "variations" simply show that it was handmade with care! Remember the "gallopping horse" rule - if a person riding by on a gallopping horse can't see anything wrong, there is nothing wrong!
|
Obviously you are more critical than others. I do think it is very lovely. Morevoer, the colors and design are most soothing.
|
I think it is pretty, I don't see anything wrong with it...if you want to see a mess you should see the one I just finished, aye.....we all work hard on our quilts and they are hand made from the heart and to me that is what matters.
|
They are only mistakes because you know what you had in mind. Nobody else knows so all we see is a fantastic quilt. Show quality.
|
Very pretty.
|
Your quilt is beautiful! :)
|
Very pretty quilt - I love it the way it is.
|
I like it just the way it is - and, it's one of a kind!
|
I love the fact that it is off center! Love the colors, love the design.
|
Is there a picture of the whole quilt somewhere?
The quilting is fantastic on it! |
Mary, don't be so hard on yourself. I see a very beautiful quilt!!
|
I think it is beautiful. Who says quilts have to be symmetrical? I love it!
|
