Playing The Scales

The quilt I saw was much prettier than the one I made, but here is mine. This design is way different from what I usually make so I’m still not sure how I feel about it, whether I like it or not. It’s 65x87. I added 4 more rows to the width and also made it longer for a twin bed. The free instructions were for a 62x66.

I did an image search for Playing the Scales quilt and I like yours better than any I saw.

My first time hearing of this pattern much less seeing a completed one. I can't imagine that the original was any better than yours. Love the navy and gold/yellow combination. Stunning!

Toogie, Lovely Bargello!!!!!

Thank you for showing us this quilt. I always admire your creativity.
You quilt and so generously make your patriotic quilts.

I think it's just fine and I'll have to go check out that pattern as I can see using scraps.

Another example of your perfection piecing. And I agree, not your style, but well done anyway. It is good to stretch from time to time and try new patterns.

toogie, it might be different from what you usually create but it still is a wonderful quilt.

Sometimes it is fun to experiment and try something different. Sometimes it works and sometimes it is donated to a good cause. Either way it is a win. I personally like it.
