lol That is what I will tell myself the next time someone else chooses a pattern and fabric that I don't like.

Does this block design have a name? It's a very pretty design.

I'm with your SIL - I LOVE IT! I was expecting something just too ugly to look at. Keep reminding yourself that this is a gift for her, not for you, and maybe that will help you get on with it. When you finish, would you please make me one just like it? <G>

Well I am with your sister I Love It. Go for it girl it will be beautiful.

It's beautiful! I love the fabrics and you did a great job on the block.

Just remind yourself how happy you are making your sister and the smile you are putting on her face. Your goal is to make her happy with the quilt. They are going to be so proud of this quilt, their choices and your talent and love. I'm not a purple person and i think it is so stricking.

Not sure what you dislike about it.

I love the fabric and the block.

That said I hated the fabric and pattern my daughter choose, it took me 2 years to finish it!!!

Wow... I love it too! The pinks and blues and purples are a great combination. I did a king size batik in pinks and dusty blues ("Not Your Grandmother's Log Cabin" design) for a 90 year old aunt and trying to finish it off was a real hassle and I was not fond of the quilt until it was totally finished and quilted... now I am very happy that my friend and I chose the colors we did and put it together for my aunt who absolutely loves it! Wish I'd used more of the deep purple because I LOVE the contrast but my aunt was more into country blue and pink/mauve colors so it came out very well.
Good luck and keep telling yourself, "one more block for my sister"... you'll be done before you know it and she will be very happy you "stuck it out for her"...

I'm sorry you don't like it. I think it is very pretty and will be a beautiful quilt when finished. Good luck with the project.

To each their own, once the picture loaded, I personally liked it - I'm not not really a batik person. Even though you don't particularly care for it, just think of how happy your sister will be once it's completed, and in the end that's all that should matter. This one will just be more of a labor or love than most, that's all! ;)

Explosive blessings, abundance and inspiration to you all!
