A couple of weeks ago, I posted the following about farming out the piecing of a quilt that I had appliqued. http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-134343-1.htm

Well, apparently, I'm more of a control freak that I thought, because I just couldn't let it out of my possession. I made a couple of mistakes - all right, a lot of mistakes - but I did it myself. As you might recall, I only had 8 of the pink flowers, so I did one for the center in the print fabric that I used to "matte" each block and to frame the entire quilt. I'm not real thrilled with the result, but it's better than a plain white block, I think. Anyway, here's the resulting top. Now I get to hand quilt. That's the fun part anyway.

Wow, I really love how you matted the blocks with that thin floral. Nice job. Very pretty.

Very Pretty and I love the way you pulled the center flower color into the other blocks to pull it all together :thumbup: Great Job :mrgreen:

I think it looks great and you will be much happier that you did all the work without anyone else's touch to it. You can call it yours. It's beautiful

KyKat--I missed your first post and I am so glad you decided to do it yourself. Love, Love, Love it. I really like the narrow floral sashing and the center block looks great.

You did a great job - beautiful quilt

purrfectquilts 08-01-2011 04:30 AM

That was a good solution and you did great. Any less than perfect spots will not show when it is quilted and loved.

Great job! How rewarding for you to do it yourself!

bjchad 08-01-2011 10:36 AM

Looks pretty nice to me! Lovely colors and I like the very narrow print border on each blobk. Very attractive!

marscrafter 08-01-2011 11:25 AM

It's really pretty, I think the center looks intentional and it belongs with the quilt. Can't wait to see it quilted.

np3 08-01-2011 11:32 AM

Very nice!

jljack 08-01-2011 03:13 PM

I actually really really like the center flower...it breaks up the monotony of all the same color.
