Eddie,

That is not an "ugly quilt" . . . I love it!

Looks good to me, what a nice gift for your daughter, won't she be surprise to receive it. Keep that quilt near by it will grow on you!! I like it.

Did you do the quilting, too? I think it looks great.

Yes, I think all of the quilts I've done (except the first one) have been done with precuts (jelly rolls, layer cakes, charm squares). I think the reason this one was such a bear was because all of the pieces are 2" finished sizes and I also had to use some yard fabric that I rotary cut myself for the neutral cross areas. So the mix of my 2.5" strips with the 2 and 9/16" strips was difficult to work with. I tried to have a little of the pinking extend beyond my neutral strips, but...well....it was an experience.

I think PP is definately something in my future. I'm intrigued by it and have done some reading on it, so will be trying it. I really like the possibilities it opens up for you.

Thx, Nita
PS I really like your quilt and would not call it ugly! :lol:
Yes, I did the free-motion quilting on my regular sewing machine (pictured in my avatar photo at left). It's a Brother Innovis NX-650Q machine which is marketed as their "Quilter's Club" machine because it has the wider throat on it and the large plate. I really like this machine, it's wonderful to sew with. I think I paid right at about $800 for it when it was on sale.

I agree with your daughter, Eddie...It's a very pretty quilt.

I think it's beautiful! The colors are so warm and relaxing.

The quilter is always toughest on their own projects - when I look at some of my newly completed projects, I only see the mistakes.
