Trade Winds for Bali Pops. First time I used jelly rolls and of course I failed to pick a contrasty enough fabric for the triangle.

You're being to hard on yourself.... its beautiful. I do understand what you said about the contrasy fabric but if you stand back it is beautiful !

Stand two feet back. The colours are beautiful. Do finish it and use it!

OMG you're being much too harsh on yourself - it is a beauty and has such a tranquil aura. It makes me smile!

I agree with everyone else! Stand back and look at it! Beautiful!

Just an FYI - Bali Pops (any brand really) are not always cut exactly at 2-1/2"...that may be one reason you had difficulty. Another tip is to use spray starch on anything that will end up with bias edges once you start cutting.

Oh that is such a good tip! Take it from someone that has learned the hard way!!

I love the colors and fabrics and don't see anything wrong with this quilt. Remember.....no quilt police!! Don't be so hard on yourself. We are our own worst enemy. Great job. :thumbup:

I think it is very lovely. Once finished it will not show the little things you see that no one else does.
