I bought fabric several months ago, and apparently I had a bit too much coffee and somehow thought they went together. I pieced together enough for a baby quilt/throw and decided I hated it. It looks like Hawaiian shirts mated and vomited out a little scrappy baby.

I took it out today and still hate it, but I added the border...and I'll eventually convince myself to sandwich it.

:oops: On the bright side, I'm planning a vacation...and I won't have to worry about the quilt police yelling at me when I'm sitting on it on the beach.

I love your description, though I don't agree with it! Your quilt looks warm and cozy to me.

Maribeth 07-10-2010 06:01 PM

I love it. It is bright, but it is also coordinated. Very well done. :)

QuiltingGrannie 07-10-2010 06:03 PM

I like it! It looks great with the boarder on it!

dkabasketlady 07-10-2010 06:04 PM

I don't see a thing wrong with it. I love the bright colors!!

jlong 07-10-2010 06:05 PM

I like it too. The colors are beautiful.

quiltsRfun 07-10-2010 06:05 PM

I saw the picture before I read your post and thought, "WOW! What a pretty quilt." I love those colors and you did a great job on the piecing. I think you're just too close to the project right. In any case, it will sure be a great beach blanket. And you can do whatever you like with your quilt, right? ;)

"It looks like Hawaiian shirts mated and vomited out a little scrappy baby."

PPPFFFTT as my water goes all over the keyboard. Oh my goodness.

I like it and I would be careful about any quilt police. They may throw you to the sharks.
:lol:
I would use it too. Very nice.

cjomomma 07-10-2010 06:14 PM

Don't get made at me. I do like the quilt but it is a little busy. Would I use it? heck yeah I would. It is still pretty.

That's exactly my problem with it. There's nothing to break up the busy patterns. I love the fabrics...just not together.

However, I'm entirely too lazy to take it apart and add sashing. :lol:

mlaceruby 07-10-2010 06:17 PM

I like it!
Looks like an autumn sky thru the fall leaves on the trees
Maybe you just need to stand back and look at it from across the room???

OMG... let me catch my breath and quit laughing at that description!!!!! That is tooooo funnny!

And I agree with the others, I think it is a beautiful quilt.! but...We are our own worst critics.
Take it to Hawaii and have a wonderful time!

A quilter AND a wordsmith ! I enjoyed your discription. I think the quilt is unusual and pretty in a schizophrenic way. :mrgreen:

I like the quilt, but I LOVE your description of its conception! Keep sewing AND posting.

bearisgray 07-10-2010 06:34 PM

Your description made me laugh out loud, too. :lol: :lol:

It's bright - but it grows on one. I like it.

MamaBear61 07-10-2010 06:34 PM

I like it! Maybe a very calm backing and binding will make you like it too. If not I am sure there will be lots of us willing to take it off your hands.

I was laughing at your description and DH looked and he said he liked it. He is my best judge of color. I love the quilt. You chose a pattern that goes well with that kind of prints. I think is great.

cjomomma 07-10-2010 07:36 PM

Ok so I got on the laptop to get a better look at the quilt, I was on my ipod earlier. I really do like it but I still think it is too busy. I wouldn't take it apart either. I would use it and I am willing to bet you will get a lot of compliments about it.

tolepainter54 07-10-2010 07:38 PM

I'll take it - I think it is beautiful.

annieshane 07-10-2010 07:38 PM

Perfect quilt for Hawaii!!! You didn't know it when you started, but this is the perfect destination for this design. Enjoy your quilt as you are sitting on the sunny beaches. When you return, it will be a reminder of a wonderful vacation.

sharon b 07-10-2010 07:55 PM

I think it is a Good Idea :thumbup: I like it :lol:

watson's mom 07-10-2010 07:57 PM

I love your quilt and don't see a thing wrong with it. Love the colours. Not too bright, just rich vibrant colours.
Have fun with it in Hawaii, and I'm sure you will get a lot of compliments on it.

lalaland 07-10-2010 07:59 PM

Hawaii is the perfect place for that quilt and you plan to take it to the beach?? Even better. I think it's beautiful.
