Stunning! I love vivid colors.

My bed frame is bright red enamel - your quilt would look absolutely fabulous on it! Love the colors, love the wonkiness.

I have two granddaughters who would love these bright colors. I see their very favorite colors there.

This is going to be a well-loved quilt. It is a very happy quilt with loads of personality. There is so much to like about this creation. The wide minky binding brought from the back is a creative finish. The quilting is perfect. Thinking as a six-year-old, it is dreamy.

I always admire your work.

How did you like doing the applique?

peace

I love bright quilts and this is gorgeous.

Quilter 65 07-04-2018 05:49 AM

What a wonderful quilt. I really like the positive and negative blocks. Charming. I love the fact that your dear MIL treasured it so much and now you have it back. What greater tribute to a quilter than to have someone show it to whomever would look.

Love the quilt and Paper Princess's name "Splat", though it also reminds me of the ball and jacks game I used to play as a child. The recipient will adore this quilt! Thanks for the story about your MIL and your second longarm quilting adventure. It gives me hope as I struggle to figure out what to place where and have used a similar technique with cardboard templates of dinosaurs, and footprints to add along with my meandering. What to place where is always my biggest struggle.

Just fabulous! Pure happiness in a quilt.

krissr 07-04-2018 11:43 AM

Your quilt is so gosh darn cute. You did good.

hobbykat1955 07-04-2018 11:58 AM

No Sunglasses needed...I too sometimes shy away from Bright colors and my friend is trying to break me out of the box. ...good job

Taughtby Grandma 07-04-2018 01:00 PM

I'll bet the 6 yr old is going to love this bright cheerful quilt. Very pretty!

Sync 07-04-2018 02:40 PM

Definitely bright and cheerful. Perfect for kids

kittiebug 07-04-2018 02:57 PM

Love your quilt , and bright colors.

granky 07-04-2018 03:26 PM

Guess I'm still part kid....I love the quilt!

Claire123 05-14-2019 02:25 AM

I think it is great for a child, definitely not too bright. The applique looks wonderful also.

donna873 05-14-2019 03:46 AM

Adorable, what kid would not just fall in love with these...! I'm forever 12

I am a few years away from being a teenager ... full disclosure, I'm 69. But I would love that quilt for myself. I am drawn to bright colors. Bright colors make me happy and energize me. I always enjoy seeing your quilts and especially admire your quilting skills. Another great one, thanks for sharing.

margied 05-14-2019 04:01 AM

I love it and I'm sure she will too. You can't help smiling when you look at it.

sue.ross.8782 05-14-2019 06:38 AM

I love the hot colors and the exuberant pattern. I guess the six-year-old girl in me lurks just below the surface. Beautiful!:D Viva los colores!

bailey 05-14-2019 07:49 AM

This quilt is magical! If you are feeling sad just need to wrap yourself in happiness. Magic! Wonderful job.

Mousie 05-14-2019 09:48 AM

Being an infj personality I saw the picture and laughed...with glee!
I could see it the way you saw it, but I could also see it the way my grandmunchkins
would and it's perfect for an eight year old Feline.
I love your pet name for it :D.
It's a very happy pattern and the binding is Perfect for it.
Almost makes me want to be a kid again.

Iceblossom 05-14-2019 09:49 AM

Oh I love it! While I like the term Technicolor Vomit (clown barf is another one I've heard...) I brought along a project to work at while I'm at my mom's as she recovers from back surgery. I'm calling it "a quilt too loud to sleep under".

I bought a bag of assorted scraps at the Goodwill, most of the fabric isn't anything special, Walmart and Joann fat quarters for the most part. I would never have brought most of those fabrics home, yet as a grouping they all work together. I'm using that bag as an exercise in freedom from my usual OCD quilting method. Fabrics I didn't and wouldn't necessarily choose (although there are a couple I like quite a bit), and I'll be making over-sized wonky 9-patches without matching seams and cutting at odd angles. I think it will end up looking like one of the quick crazy quilt techniques and I'm hoping someone will love it (it will be a donation project).

Again, even if it doesn't appeal to you, I think that is one special happy quilt!

BSKTLOFR-QUILTER 05-14-2019 05:11 PM

Happy, happy, happy quilt. It lifts the spirit and makes you want to start the day off on the right foot. Brightens the room. I think you did a marvelous job on it and the quilting is fabulous. You made one little girl happy. It may not be something I'd put on my bed but maybe I should. Be proud and go ahead put a label on it without naming it.

quiltingshorttimer 05-14-2019 05:53 PM

I love the name you used(privately)! I have many quilts that the name I know them as is not on the label. Love how you quilted the wonky squares as a ghost of the "splats"!

betthequilter 05-15-2019 06:32 AM

Great quilts! I think bright colors are so much fun to work with.

red-warrior 05-16-2019 08:25 AM

I love it too!!!!!

BizzieLizzie 05-21-2019 05:14 PM

It is gorgeous! Just love the colours in it! Beautiful!
