Your block is beautiful. And while I possibly would not have chosen those colors, they work well together, and I would be anxious to see the finished product.

One thing quilting has taught me is that I should never past judgement on combinations, colors or patterns until I have seen the finished product. I am very frequently pleasantly surprised by the vision of others. Sometimes we must just take a leap of faith and proceed.

Good luck and know your sister will love it.

I love it and believe once the overall top is complete... it will come together beautifully. You are a brave and considerate person to have someone else pick out the pattern and fabric of their choice. From the beginning, they are invested in the project which will make it extra special to them!

Beautiful!!! I love the fabrics and the pattern. Your doing a wonderful job of matching seams too. I know she will treasure it. Try working on it for just a little while each day.

I think it is very cool, great colors. My daughter always tells me to do the 80's I have a hard time talking myself into those colors. If she picked the fabric she will love it.

This is a beautiful pattern, and maybe after you have done a few more blocks and put it together, it may look okay to you. But the colors are pretty and I bet when you work on ir more the colors may grow on you. Like someone said earlier, do a block here and there while you work on something else that you like. And remember that your DS and DBIL love it.
Good luck and can't wait to see the finished project.

You tell yourself it is not for you and they will love it! I would just do it quickly and get it out of my house.

I can't begin to count the number of posts here recently about recipients not appreciating their quilts. That being said: if the quilt is for your sister and she chose the pattern and the fabrics - make her the quilt she chose! It may not be your favorite thing to work on if these are not your colors - but apparently they are HERS. Finish it as she wants it - she will love it and be very appreciative of her quilt! OK - down off my soapbox.

Oh and btw - not that it matters - I love the fabrics and think your quilt will be beautiful!!

Don't see a problem. It looks great to me.

the block is beautiful. I guess it's personal taste but I love the colors
