I'm so glad this is a planned gift - the more I look at this quilt the more I don't like it!

I LOVED the stack of fabric when I bought it/while it was sitting on my shelf - but the more I pieced this quilt the more I didn't like it.

I guess it's okay, but I really had to force myself to finish it. If it were for me and not a wedding gift, it may have been trashed/traded/ufo'd...

Love the colors, i am a big fan of lime green, we are our own worse critics.

Well, I think you have done a beautiful job, despite your feelings about it. It's not a palette I use, but it is quite appealing. Now off you go and do something you really feel passionate about.

I think it's adorable.

I think it's pretty. I'm glad you finished it and I bet they will love it. I love the way you finished the edge. So pretty.

I really like it. It has a fun, happy look. I love the lime green prints. Lime green seems to be in style right now!

I like the pattern and I wonder if you had used a bright yellow instead of so much white if you would be happier with it. I got a good laugh as I understand why you like the fabrics. They looked familiar so I went down to my sewing room and now I know why...I have these patterns sitting there waiting for me to make something. So I guess we have good taste in material.LOL

I like it -- so bright and happy! :D

maybe it's all that cream? i do mostly darker quilts...

thanks for the comment on the quilting -- i tried to do something a little extra special since i was hating it so much. The top is quilted in sukly pearl white (sparkly) thread and the bottom is a varigated green...

=)

T-Bones mom 03-22-2010 10:07 PM

Very nice. I have not seen that pattern before.

Hey its a fun quilt. If the colors are such that the couple likes them then its more than a fun quilt its a pretty quilt that was made with love. Especially if you didnt enjoy making it. You kept at it because you believed it would please someone you care about. That is a gift of love. Now onto a project you will LOVE working on!

Ruth 03-23-2010 03:21 AM

Wow love it

Ninnie 03-23-2010 03:25 AM

I love the colors so bright. It's a cute pattern what is is called.

Jingle 03-23-2010 04:39 AM

Pretty and you did a great job. I'm sure they will love it.

dkabasketlady 03-29-2010 09:03 AM

I love the colors!!! The quilt is awesome! Not all of us like the same fabrics, where would the fabric designers be without us having different tastes?

Jamie 03-29-2010 09:08 AM

I think it is beautiful, and the colors are springy and happy! :) You should be proud. Anyone would be happy to have this.

jetnica 07-03-2010 06:31 PM

So I was going through some of my old posts, and realized I never answered the many requests for the pattern name!

It's called Woven Ribbons from Quilter's Cache -- super cute and simple -- and the Bride and Groom LOVED it!!

I think it is kind of cute and quirky.
