Love the colors!!

This is so vibrant and cheerful, the colors go well together. I love the field of flowers on the back. This certainly would be a focal point in draped prominently in any room, would start a lot of conversations and lots of touching and admiring! Many times the objections are to not wearing the color combinations but when included in a quilt, it's amazing how people can be won over!

I love your quilt, it is beautiful. I to remember the match rules. I had dressed for school in a pretty red skirt and pink sweater and was told to go change I could not go out in pink and red. I was about nine years old but I never forgot how bad I felt.

Oh, I'd be up for that scrap (isn't that another name for a fight?)! I love this quilt... so cheerful! And the fabrics kind of remind me of the 50's (I was just a mere pup back then... LOL!). This is fabulous! That pattern sounds like a really good one. Did you like using it?

A couple of years ago when pink & brown were such a hot combo? It reminded me of a girl in my grade school. She had a brown & pink dress that all the other little girls thought was ghastly. I was fascinated by it. So, either I'm weird (hey... no comments from the Peanut Gallery!) or way ahead of my time! To this day, I never see a pink & brown quilt that I don't think of Lilly's dress.

There was an awful lot of cutting involved, and choosing where to put the colors to best advantage. I am trying to stretch myself to do things I wouldn't normally do. This will probably end up being a charity quilt at some point. I have about 6 or 7 ready to gift someone.
I hear ya! I was thinking just the same thing tonight. I'm working on a "Jelly Roll Race" for a friend using a jelly roll that is so out of my comfort zone it ain't even funny. But I'm enjoying using it & actually kinda like the quilt. Some people seem to get more set in their ways as they age but for some reason, I feel like I'm expanding my horizons.

This would make a fabulous charity quilt... so cheerful... back & front!
