Me too. Send it to me right away so I can get it out of your sight ;-)

I think you've just looked at it too long. Fold it up, walk away. Bring it out in a month, step back and enjoy. You'll see what I do - it's wonderful.

I think it is beautiful!!! It just needs a couple of borders and I bet you will love it too!!! If not, there are many of us who would give it a good home :wink: :D:D:D

i LOVE it. Those are my favorite kinds of quilts. Everytime you look, you see another thing you never saw before. If you ever want to sell the top, let me know!

virtualbernie 05-20-2010 02:25 PM

I don't normally like scrappy but this one is beautiful! Do like everyone else says, put it away for a while and look at it with new eyes. :thumbup:

MamaBear61 05-20-2010 02:27 PM

You have a great quilt there, but if you really don't want to look at it ship it up to Canada I would love to quilt it for you I think once it is quilted you too will think that it is gorgeous.

that's why i kept putting it away!!!--couldn't stand to look at it & it didn't seem to get better but i wanted to finish it. as i was sewing the last few seams together i was really hoping i would like it but YUK! i guess this is another possible candidate for the shelter!

Rats! I knew I took the wrong approach ;-)

ToucanSam 05-20-2010 02:46 PM

I think it's great!

paintedquilt 05-20-2010 02:47 PM

I Like It :!: :-P

978gray 05-20-2010 02:55 PM

We are are own worst critics. I think it is fantastic. If you do not like it, it looks like you have many takers. I'll add my name to that list.

ann clare 05-20-2010 02:56 PM

Can't be bad when we all want it

cjomomma 05-20-2010 02:59 PM

I think you did a great job. I don't see anything aweful about it.

rootyr 05-20-2010 03:02 PM

I'll take it!!!

hazeljane 05-20-2010 03:12 PM

Maybe you ought to raffle it? Everyone pitch in $10. who wants it and you can pick a name out of a hat? You certainly have enough takers. ( I want to point out that I am the FIRST in line, however.)

kwhite 05-20-2010 04:01 PM

I love it.

quiltingbea 05-20-2010 06:16 PM

I think it's really pretty! I like crazy quilts.

kso 05-20-2010 07:19 PM

Poor ugly thing. And to think you put all that time into it. TSK TSK. Don't waste another minute on it. My address is..........LOL

It's a keeper!And if you really don't like it, you surely have family or friends that would love it. Or, there are many charities that could use it for a fundraising raffle or it could be donated to a veteran at a VA hospital.

littlehud 05-20-2010 08:17 PM

I think it's beautiful. If you really hate it I'll take it. :D

earthwalker 05-20-2010 09:14 PM

I think it is absolutely beautiful. I love all the colours and patterns.

EllaBud 05-20-2010 09:17 PM

It is beautiful. Sometimes when I work on something too much or too long, it gets to be yuck whenever I look at it. So I put it away for awhile and then open it back up and finish whatever it needs. It gives you a new perspective. Maybe you'll try it and it'll help!

CoyoteQuilts 05-20-2010 09:20 PM

Put 2 borders around it, one small and one larger. It would tone it down if you think it is to busy.

I agree with everybody else, it's beautiful!!!

magpiefeather 05-20-2010 10:54 PM

I agree CoyoteQuilts...after a border and simple quilting it will look very nice and I see nothing wrong with it now! Good job!

danmar 05-20-2010 11:29 PM

I like it! It's cute!

Rainy Day 05-21-2010 12:40 AM

I love it - I think you should send it to a loving home - MINE!! My son loves it too - "it's groovy and better than yours Mum" is his opinion!

Gal 05-21-2010 01:29 AM

I like it, I think you just need a break from it! You will think differently when you have not seen it for a while, I do this with my paintings and it works!

I think its great!!! I don't know if you meant to do it or not, but, my eyes look all over the quilt. Actually very pleasing to me. I would love to be able to do a scrappy!!! Making bags of HST's and 1.5" square to do a postage size. One day!! :lol: :lol:

Good one! LOL
TRUST ME! You might not care about it, but guaranteed! There is someone out there who is going to think it is the most wonderful thing they have ever seen.
I will be curious to see what you didn't like about it (always curious) - - I'll bet for every one who empathizes with what you don't like, there are ten quilters on here that will tell that that is exactly what attracts them to it.
Are you considering doing a color study with this pattern and see if you can't create something more to your tastes? <wave>

sewjoyce 05-21-2010 08:47 AM

I like it!!! :D :thumbup:

quiltsRfun 05-21-2010 08:52 AM


i think it's awful!
It's not awful, it's crazy. ;)

bearisgray 05-21-2010 08:54 AM

I like it - it is a quilt that would be SOOO nice to snuggle in/under.

Do I think it's "beautiful"? No, I don't.

I don't think it's "pretty", either.

I do think it's interesting, colorful, and fun to look at.

I also would be happy to own it.

hazeljane 05-21-2010 09:00 AM

Raffle, raffle, raffle!

Born2Sew 05-21-2010 09:02 AM

I like it! A lot of work and love went into making it. I love how all the colors blend together. Reminds me a little of all the different personalities of people all coming together for a single purpose.

mytwopals 05-21-2010 09:47 AM

Looks perfect for a TV room reclining chair. I wouldn't mind having it myself. :thumbup:

craftybear 05-27-2010 03:23 PM

I like your quilt!

dkabasketlady 05-30-2010 10:41 PM

I love this quilt!! Scrappy's are my favorite! I'll take it off your hands, lol! Just kidding unless.....!

knlsmith 05-31-2010 12:36 AM

I really am not a fan of scrappy at all. i think i have to much OCD. lol BUT with that being said, I really love your quilt! I think it is the wonkiness of it all that excites me.

I agree, fold it up, walk away, and look at it again in a few weeks. I think you will really like it too!
