I think it looks great! If someone doesn't like it, or says something disrespectful about it - Then tell them, let me see you do it then! lol

What's wrong with it? I don't get it. Looks great to me, but then I haven't done a log cabin yet. And as far as I know - like everyone has said before me - IF YOU DON'T TELL THEY WON'T KNOW ;).

Will turning the blocks around make any difference? Doesn't matter, it still looks great! Quite unique...which is good!

Ha ha ha..I may need one now though.. ha ha ha To think..I was enjoying making this one and WAS having so much fun. I should have known it was to good to be true. ha ha ha

I had a cooking teacher in high school who told us we never made mistakes - we invented new dishes. I like to use that philosophy in my quilting too!!

Have a drink and don't worry about it.

It's a contemporary variation of a traditional quilt pattern! Which is my way of saying that I agree with what everyone else has said: It's a beautiful quilt in its own right.
You're understandably disappointed because it didn't turn out as you had anticipated. But I'll bet that if you were to put it away for a week and then look at it again with fresher eyes, you'd be pleased and proud! A dear friend taught me the basics of quilting. While learning to use a rotary cutter and sew a scant 1/4" seam were important, the best thing I learned from her was that our quilts are always better than we think they are. She encouraged me always to set aside a troubled quilt and re-examine it a few days/weeks/months later. It's amazing how much better it looks once I have some distance!! |
Looks just FINE to me, the way it is. Tell anyone that asks that this is YOUR "spin" on the design! :thumbup:
|
It's beautiful the way it is. It took me a little while to figure out what you were talking about. I would go ahead and put it together. Great job.
|
I'd finish it and pretend it's supposed to be that way. Whose to know the difference. I love the colors. It's a great quilt. You had fun, that's what counts.
