This quilt a friend picked the fabrics I used all but the yellow which i thought was just the wrong yellow... I had thought about framing the blocks with it but it looked bad.. I am happy it is done but I am not sure why it seems to not look good to me,;( any suggestions ideas> ? I really dislike the blue color .. generally that may be it.. There is brown minki that goes on the back of this..
Help./. ??

What is a minki?

I think it would look nice with small sashing framing the blocks.

I actually think it looks great!~ I love the colors.

You know how it is, you see a fabric or collection and you instantly fall in love. I bet your friend will flip when she sees your creation made from her fabric prints!

Can you give any tips on backing a quilt with Minkee? I'm so scared of that stuff. Love it, but I'm afraid to work with it.

I like it. It looks really nice.

I think it looks great!

nice

minki is that plush soft baby fabric with the dots it is great on blankies;).

what about yellow sashing? I thought it just broke it all up and looked odd but at the time i only had 4 blocks done.. Hmm

Just use it like fabric.. I take it to a machine quilter and they have no issue with it at all. I even had one done with the softer fabric that is little tufted swirls SO SOFT !!

Even though this was not your favorite project, look at it as a learning experience - also hold your piece up to different colored walls or fabric swatches. That will help you get a better feel for the color scheme. If this is your friend's quilt let her decide where to go from here. Personally, I like it as is.
