Just needs finished, and it will be a beautiful quilt.
You need to send the quilt police to the next county. :) |

Looks good to me. I like it!!

Here is what I see in the picture. The 2 pinwheels with the dark background at the top middle are wider apart than the 2 similar pinwheels at the bottom. This is causing the upper portion to be wider than the bottom portion of the quilt. Unsew the left side and the 2 upper middle pinwheels. Correct the 2 upper middle pinwheels to be the same width as the lower middle pinwheel and sew it all back together. It should be more square afterwards.

Looks fine to me. what's to salvage???

Honestly, is this thing salvageable? Lori |
Looks great to me...are you being too hard on yourself???
|
Dont be too hard on yourself as their is nothing wrong with it its beautiful and is longing to be finished
|
it's really pretty. quilt it as quilting cures everything. I think it looks good.
|
I don't see anything wrong with it. Looks good to me.
|
I LOVE it - what pattern is that for the squares that look like a pinwheel?
|
I didn't really notice!
|
How is it a disaster? I think it looks very nice.
|
The banner will be moving, right (either held by people or on a pole)? I would not worry about it at all - it's beautiful!
|
Looks good to me.Keep going
|
Just square it off and be done with it. Or you could square it off and add a black binding to equal the right side. It doesn't look bad. Quilts can be challenging, but sometimes that's when we fix it and come up with a new idea.
Who said each side has to be the same? Another idea, make both sides two colors......What you have is not a big problem. |
I think your quilt looks fine. The geometric background that it's laying on is making it look skewed because it isn't lined up with your quilt. Try laying it on a plain background and you will get a completely different view of it. Beautiful! Finish it.
|
I think your quilt is very pretty and I don't see anything wrong with it either. Add some borders and it will be great! Good job!
|
You are being too hard on yourself. Finish it up and be proud!
|
Looks good to me! Trim the left side a little and you are goo to go! Your piecing is perfect! Have a glass of wine and quit obsessing! LOL!
|
Looks pretty to me. :thumbup:
|
It will quilt out lol... top and bottom border and you have a winner.
|
Looks great to me
|
Looks beautiful, good luck.
|
just add a border with designs that way the mistake that you say that is there (I dont see it , I believe that you did a great job) with not be visible :thumbup:

Continue with the borders and you will feel better. Looks okay to me.
|
I can see a slight wave on the side of the quilt. Have you tried to cut it down a little to make it even? Then you will have to take the same amount off the other side to keep it even. Then you can add a binding to finish it off. That is what I would do.

I think I see what you are talking about. I had a similar problem a few quilts ago. Try adding a half block to inside of every other block. Alos a half block to outside of other blocks. They will not line up, but look like they are dancing or staggered. My lemon turned out into delicious lemonade.

I think it looks great, you have to look very close to see any mistakes. Add a border and then square it up, it will look fantastic!!! Unless you point out the imperfections, no one will notice!
|
It's beautiful and I love your colors--But ! seeing you asked--is the white square a smidgen wider at the top than bottom? If that was completely squared it would bring the two top blocks together a bit so the points match and would automatically make the sides straighter. This is only the way it appears to me or the way it's possitioned on the table. It is still lovely tho'and unless you're unduly persnickity---leave it be!

ME 2............
|
Have no idea what you think is wrong with it. Looks good to me
|
Like it alot. Finish up the borders and bind it. :)
|
Please finish it! It looks great.
|
finish it!! You will surprise yourself.... you can always add a border and square it up maybe that will make you feel better, or add
"wonky border" and square it up.... I think no matter what you do, you will be pleased with it when it's finished, its very pretty. |
looks fine to me i guess i dont see it in the pic
|
The only thing I can figure out is that maybe the white triangle
on the bottom left may be a little smaller and causing the left side to go in a little. I am not sure. |
