Questionable Fabric Choice
 
1 Attachment(s)
Help! My fabric choices didn't come out as I had hoped! Made this quilt top at a Serger Class but can't decide if I want to invest more $$$ to finish the quilt or just dice it up for my stash! And yes, you can piece a quilt using your serger!!!!

Please finish it and see how it becomes a real beauty...

Phyllis42 03-05-2012 09:13 PM

I like the colors. Pls finish and make sure to show us.

Janquiltz 03-05-2012 09:16 PM

I would finish it if it was mine. You might be surprised with how pretty it is finished. If you don't like it, I am sure that any of the organizations taking charity quilts would be most appeciative if they received this happy quilt. I think the colors are nice and fresh, any have you considered using the gold tone fabric for the binding?

PJisChaos 03-05-2012 09:22 PM

I agree with the others.. I love this one!!! Absolutely LOVE it. Great job on colors and piecing.

kristen0112 03-05-2012 09:47 PM

paulettepoe 03-06-2012 02:39 AM

Finish and give, I would say. I like it.

Moonglow 03-06-2012 02:42 AM

It looks fine to me. If you finish it you may be pleasantly surprised.:thumbup:

SueDor 03-06-2012 02:55 AM

Please finish it. It looks great to me. If you still don't like it donate it.

QuiltnNan 03-06-2012 03:35 AM

I don't think the colors are bad. And quilting really brings quilt tops to life. I'd finish it.

Jackie Spencer 03-06-2012 04:27 AM

I love it and think you will to after its quilted. The quilting has a way of bringing our quilts to life.

barbo117 03-06-2012 04:29 AM

I think your quilt is beautiful. I have felt that way about a lot of quilts but when the batting, backing, quilting and binding is done they totally change and I loved each and every one of them. Please finish it and I bet you will fall in love too.

Rubesgirl 03-06-2012 04:51 AM

I think it is lovely & you should finish it. It will look different once it's done and you may find that you or a family member really likes it. If not, there are many organizations that would welcome a donation of a hand crafted quilt. Think about it before you decide to cut it up.

GemState 03-06-2012 05:19 AM

Once it is quilted you will be amazed how it comes to life!!!

Lori S 03-06-2012 05:41 AM

Over my years of quilting , I have come to learn ... the final quilting does not make me love something more than before its quilted if I am not happy about the colors/pattern. Maybe put it aside for a few weeks and come back and review it... if you are still not "feeling it" ... find a charity to donate it to. Nothing says you have to live with an"error" forever...

mom-6 03-06-2012 05:46 AM

Don't know why YOU don't like it, as many of us find it very pleasing. But as others have suggested, find a donation destination and pass it on...win-win solution!

clsurz 03-06-2012 05:47 AM

Don't like it, don't want it than send it to me. I promise I'll find it a good home.

Consider Gold tones to finish it off with.

No way would I cut it up.

Delta 03-06-2012 05:48 AM

That is awesome. yes finish. You just can't ever go wrong on a quilt. Most of the time no one know you don't like the colors. Someone will.
thanks for sharing

igorsews 03-06-2012 06:14 AM

Oh, Yah...finish...you'll be surprised at how it looks.

lillybeck 03-06-2012 06:31 AM

Please finish it. You will be surprised at the look you will have. I love it.

mltquilt 03-06-2012 06:43 AM

Finish it. You may be surprised once it is quilted.

I agree 100% with SueDor and all the others.

Chris Penna 03-06-2012 06:59 AM

Thanks for everyones input...............................will take it to the quilt shop and figure out the binding and backing.........someone mentioned carrying the gold to the binding which might help break things up a bit....will finish it and post completed quilt!!!!

mighty 03-06-2012 07:32 AM

It is a beauty, finish it!!!

granmalovesyou 03-06-2012 08:26 AM

Very nice I like it please finish.

amandasgramma 03-06-2012 08:35 AM

I'm with others - FINISH it!!! I do quilting for others. I've gotten in some quilts that quite frankly, I thought were ugly. Once they are quilted and bound they take on a different life!!!!! I think you'll be pleased with this one!

kateyb 03-06-2012 08:59 AM

I think it looks very pretty. Finish it and if you still don't like it donate to a charity.

You should finish it. It is really pretty. And I agree with JanQuilts on the border. The Gold would look pretty. Barny
