I think it is very nice and a lot of young moms would love it . Do you know what sex the baby is ? What about a shiloutte of a flower, a teddy bear, a favorite animal ....the possibilities are endless.

PS.I feel sorry for the girl that no one likes.Groups of people can be so cruel. If she is not nice perhaps it is a defense mechanism kicking in to bounce off the haters......I have been there , attacked , and almost fired It was not fun beleive me ,and I still bear the scars. But , you know what? I am on of the only ones left because I in the end won :)

This may lead to a relationship you would never have had otherwise and maybe, just maybe, she is really worth knowing. I think we are very wrong to judge others when we don't know their whole story.

That being said, I absolutely love orange, but I have to agree this is way too much orange. I think orange should be separated by other warm colors to tone it down. If I felt like you do about this quilt, I would donate it to a charity. Someone will love it!!

Wow, I think I really started something with this post!!! I haven't been on the board for a few days and just logged in to see that we're now up to 14 pages on this thread. Nolee, I'm going to give her one that I am proud of. I really like the idea of putting the orange one the back of my chair at work. I think I may just do that!

And thanks for all of you who said that I'm being too hard on myself. I probably am. Sometimes it sucks to be a Type A. :-)

I read a couple pages on this and came directly here to post with the intent of Barny's thoughts.
I agree, regardless of liking the girl - give her something beautiful so you won't have her and the
"orange monster" on your mind. Charity is an excellent choice IMHO. My motto - try never to give
something you wouldn't want yourself.

I love it. I have always wanted to make an orange quilt. if you don't like it then give it to a charity for displaced children, a hsp, or shelter. I think it is great. One mans trash is another mans treasure.

Way back when my #3 son was born I received a crocheted baby afghan that was not the colors I would have chosen and was sort of wonky as well. But it was given with love and he used it till it got way,way too small to cover him up.

I do like the suggestion of putting it over your chair and seeing who likes it. Then make one that YOU feel good about giving to the new mom.
