She is Plain, but She is Done
 

I've been working on units for several quilts (small pieces), and I was feeling the need to finish something. This is from the "Wickedly Easy" quilt pattern (available free online). The pieces felt enormous! I'm not thrilled with the lack of color/value contrast, but she is soft and warm, and I'm sure someone will love her. I used leftover bits and pieces on the back.

I think it is lovely. What I remind myself sometimes when I am not in love with a charity quilt I just made---IS not everyone has my taste. Great use of the leftovers.

I love your quilt. Thanks for the info.

I think you did a great job. It is very pretty quilt.

I think it is very pretty.

Very pretty color combo.....soft and feminine!

That looks very sweet!

It is so pretty.

I just love the soft colors. Don't need a great contrast all of the time.

I think we are sometimes a little hard on ourselves. But your quilt is very nice. Be proud of your work and that you made it for a good cause.

very nicely done

Your quilt is so pretty and your color combination gives it a vintage look.

I like it. A quilt doesn't always have to shout at you. Sometimes it is nice to just be gentle. I printed off that pattern years ago and haven't thought about it since. Thinking about it now. :)

very nice job !!!

Looks very comfy!

I love it also! What I really like about it is the low contrast of the fabrics. Glad you finished it and thank you for sharing it with us here on the board!

beautiful!!!

I recognize some of those calico prints since I have them in my stash too. This came out more like Shabby Chic quilt. And yes, someone will enjoy cuddling up with this quilt.

Beautiful colors and quilting. Not so plain at all.

The soft colors are great! I love pieced backs.

I think it's lovely. It looks very calming and sweet. Great work!

Thanks for the kind words, everyone.

I love it! I think the colors are nice and inviting!! You did good!

She reminds me of something my Granny might have made! Lovely indeed!

Lovely soft colours. I like it.

Very nice quilt. It is for a good cause plus you used some scraps!

I love the soft soothing colors in this quilt. Great job.

I really like this quilt. That's what a quilt is all about; comfort and cuddling. I could so wrap myself up in this. Thanks for sharing. Love the back too.

I love it! It looks so soothing to relax and read a good book under.

Good job. Nice colors.

Done and nicely so. Scraps put to very good use.

We all need the sense of accomplishment that comes with 'finished'. Your quilt is very pretty and will be cherished by someone and you get to enjoy being 'finished'. Great job. It is so important to be a part of doing for others, hence, our participation in doing charity works.

The second photo shows the colors well. You were very creative with your backing. Congrats on your finished project. The binding color compliments the blocks well.
I went to a rug outlet to choose a Dining room rug. The salesperson told me the rug I liked had quiet colors, which were soft colors with the same value and therefore not a stark contrast. I see the same in your lovely quilt...soft and quiet colors...not screaming for your attention.(if that makes sense?)

it's very pretty and the calico prints give it that soft and cozy look. Great finish.

I think it is very pretty. I love the soft colors. Great job!

The colors might not have a lot of contrast but to me they are soothing and relaxing. I just want to cuddle up with this quilt and sigh...the world is a good place.

Nicely done. Very soft and cozy looking. I like the details on the back.

Nothing about this quilt looks "left over." I think the best one-word description is this: charming!

It is pretty, I really like the soft look.

I like this comforting quilt. And I love how you made the back.
