I think you are being too hard on yourself. So you won't be putting it in a judged quilt show. It is very pretty, the colors are beautiful. It is warm. Enjoy it and lesson learned for the future.

I agree! I think it looks fine!!!!!!

They can't all be our favorites! My "walk of shame OBW" sits in a box in many many pieces. Fabric choice was wrong wrong wrong. Seemed pointless to finish as the blocks read the same as the original fabric. Walk proud..you followed it through!

Well, mine is going on my bed...REGARDLESS
Next time I will do better.

I haven't had the courage to try one of these yet but love yours. Would you tell me how you made the little flowers on your borders. Thanks.

Hahahaha! It is lovely and it does have some issues but who cares? Lay it on a bed or over a chair and use it on a cold night. It is a very pretty quilt. I have my OBW pieces all cut. Have for years as a matter of fact. We moved to an other home and I got a wonderful sewing studio but because of how the room is, under the rafters, I had to give up my design wall. consequently I never finished my OBW. I wished mine was finished even if it was not perfect. That is one very pretty quilt and I know you put hours into it. The only other thing I can think of is cutting it down or cutting it up to make pretty purses and jackets out of but I do not think you should.

I enter a obw in the fair and boy, did I learn all the things I did wrong. Ok, moving on. I love your quilt. Colors are very pleasing. I like what you did with the extra motifs, very creative. Take it out of the closet, winter is coming and you will need something to cuddle up in.
