Not ugly, but I think a silhouette would be great and I do think larger would work good. Great choice for that as it does give the movement of falling rain.

Nice effect. It does look like falling rain! If I were going to enlarge it, I would frame it with a single fabric then add the piano keys. It's not ugly.

If this quilt top is ugly, I guess I love ugly. Really like the silhouette. Which ever size you choose will be nice.

I concur that this is not ugly...like the silhouette very much...creative...I like the idea of some rain drops coming down the quilt...do NOT like the idea of the piano key border...too much and will distract from the focal point of the little girl. I think just a bigger border as has been previously suggested.....Good going!

I like it as it is.

Ditto. I like it the way it is. Really looks like rain with the silhouette.

I think your scrappy is far from even a tiny bit ugly.
The silouette make the quilt even more nice.

ScrapQuilter 03-15-2013 09:11 PM

Scrap quilts aren't ugly - and I love the addition of the little sihouette.

ontheriver 03-16-2013 02:05 AM

Your quilt looks great, not ugly at all. Like the silhouette.

twinkie 03-16-2013 03:36 AM

I do not think it is ugly. I just love scrappies

callen 03-16-2013 04:30 AM

Ugly !!! I think not. It' a lovely quilt just the way it is. Piano keys may be too much. I will gladly take it off your hands.

QUILTNMO 03-16-2013 04:46 AM

well i like it just as is its very pretty and scrappy!!!

ailene 03-16-2013 04:48 AM

I just love the silhouette idea. Perfect just the way it is.

lclang 03-16-2013 04:56 AM

Add a very large flower applique or silhouette, add a row of pinwheels. The piano key border would be great. Think outside the box. I have made several simple quilts that turned out to be fantastic with added design.

Minnesewta-sam 03-16-2013 05:05 AM

Ugly? NOT! I think it looks great. Thanks for sharing.

2manyhobbies 03-16-2013 05:11 AM

I hadn't trad your comment before seeing the picture and I immediately loved it. It is NOT ugly. I love color. The silhouette is a cute touch.

matraina 03-16-2013 06:07 AM

I ABSOLUTELY love it. Does not even look like a scrap quilt. The black just ties everything together.

nananurse 03-16-2013 06:24 AM

I don't think it is ugly at all!! Scrappy quilts are my favorite kind of quilts. I even like the bindings to be scrappy too! I would leave it as is.

Lorileik 03-16-2013 06:30 AM

I think it's beautiful. I would do the piano key border and no silhouette.

southernmema 03-16-2013 06:39 AM

Your quilt is a beautiful scrappy and I love it.

sunny42539 03-16-2013 07:35 AM

I think it is very pretty. I want to make one someday.

QandE2010 03-16-2013 08:20 AM

I like it and the silhouette is a great idea.

Shirlrh 03-16-2013 09:50 AM

Very cute and nice work also. Silhouette could be bigger.

sewnut 03-16-2013 11:09 AM

I love the little Morton salt girl. this is gorgeous!

SandySews 03-16-2013 11:25 AM

Ugly????? definitely not ugly. This quilt is beautiful.

smurfsmom 03-16-2013 11:49 AM

Love scrappy! This quilt is not ugly. The silhouette is a great addition. I need to remember this as i have a couple donation quilts that need just a little something.

moreland 03-16-2013 02:33 PM

It looks great. I'd probably make the umbrella girl a bit bigger, but whatever her size, she is a cut addition. I love the black sashing with your blocks. I wouldn't put a border on unless you specifically want it a bigger size. I think it looks great as it is.

caspharm 03-16-2013 06:24 PM

It looks good the way it is, maybe make the silhouette a little larger, but it doesn't really need a border.

rushdoggie 03-16-2013 06:28 PM

Like so many others I don't find it ugly at all, and I LOVE that silhouette! I am making a similar one soon and I may steal you idea and put a silhouette of a running dog on it...

MimiBug123 03-16-2013 07:02 PM

The quilt is gorgeous, as it is. I think the silhouette gives it a little sparkle, but she needs to be a little larger, I think.

1screech 03-16-2013 08:20 PM

I think the quilt is beautiful. I saw a quilt that had a cute little black dress appliquéd on it. It was a simple strapless shape that made the quilt so interesting. Might have seen it on this board.

bmillet 03-16-2013 08:37 PM

This is a beautiful piece. Leave everything as it is....love it

solstice3 03-17-2013 08:52 AM

piano keys might add to it but I think it id nicely done

Kathousel 03-17-2013 09:40 AM

I love the silhouette and a little bigger would be great! The strips in the quilt scream RAIN and wind! Kathie

mjhaess 03-17-2013 03:24 PM

Very pretty...

brendadawg 03-18-2013 03:14 AM

I like it! The silhouette adds a bit of whimsy -- the strips look like the rain!

My thoughts exactly:o

Barb_MO 03-20-2013 09:15 AM

The larger silhouette if perfect for this perfect scrappy. I am going to give you an E for excellent.
