Technically done but really dislike the quilting

This one has been done for a while but dislike the quilting. Even though it already has binding I may quilt it some more.

I like your design, and you've done an excellent job on the color blends.

I think your quilting looks fine as is, but if you think it needs more quilting that would look good too.

Nice modern quilt. I agree that it looks fine as is but it would also look nice with more quilting. Why not wash it and see if you like it better.

I like this quilt. I think you did a great job.

From what I can see of it, the quilting "echoes" the design of the piecing. I like it.

I like the modern look. I don't know that I would quilt it any more. It looks fine. It's modern.

Looks good from here...being too hard on self????

I love your modern quilt! And I think it would really dress it up with more quilting.

I'm a fan of lots of quilting, especially on modern quilts. However this is your quilt, and if you think it needs more quilting, then it does. If you don't think so, then it doesn't. You've chosen your fabrics very well to give the transparent effect.

Very modern looking design and love the quilting as it is. Don't think anymore quilting is needed but just my personal opinion. So nicely done color wise.

Painiacs 06-03-2019 07:50 AM

Think it's fine either way, it's your creation and you have to be happy with it. Maybe if you set it aside for a bit and rebook at it? Then if still needs more go for it!!

MicheleC 06-03-2019 09:29 AM

Your quilt is great! You did a great job on the overlap colors. I like the modern look.

Jingle 06-03-2019 12:44 PM

I think it looks very good. If you think it needs more quilting, then that is what you should do. You must be happy with it.

sJens 06-03-2019 03:49 PM

It is a pretty modern quilt. Love your colors and if you are not happy with the quilting go for it. Your quilt-so make it so you are happy with it.

redquilter 06-03-2019 05:06 PM

A fantastic and unique quilt. I love the way you gave it a transparent look. Great job

SusieQOH 06-03-2019 05:10 PM

I really like it but if you think it needs more quilting go for it!

quiltingshorttimer 06-03-2019 06:49 PM

ooh! I like the design and the way you used the color to look transparent. I'm like Dunster, I like lots of quilting on modern quilts and would have probably "quilted it to death"!

sue.ross.8782 06-04-2019 09:50 AM

Great design. It is very mid-century modern. Please post again after you add more quilting.:thumbup:

ellifour 06-04-2019 11:08 AM

This is your quilt and it should make you happy. I personally agree it needs more quilting, however that's me. Perhaps put is aside out of site for a bit and then revisit and decide

zozee 06-04-2019 12:20 PM

I like the modern look of the layout, but I think I agree with you that a little more quilting would enhance it. If it were mine, I'd probably take cues from the print of each colored block and try to mimic that. For example, in the lefthand red block I would do a sort of "chicken wire" pattern. In the blue, little daisies. In the righthand red block, I'd do big x's. Or I might just fill in each space that seems too open with a wide serpentine stitch.

Looks great to me. We are always "Our own worst critic"! Love your color choices for this very modern quilt.

leighway 06-04-2019 02:14 PM

Well...I'm going to give you my opinion...you're right...the quilting leaves much to be desired, however you can fix that. You can cut off the binding to allow the fabric to move. Then take a look at the quilt. Put on your walking foot and think about how the quilt might look with diagonals across the entire thing. Or what about echoing the long lines and making a matchstick quilt pattern? The piecing/pattern is wonderful...and you can do much more with the quilt than you have...just take it slowly and stay with straight lines. I think you could do a bang-up job with this quilt!

Grandma Peg 06-04-2019 03:07 PM

Your quilt looks great!

nightquilter 06-04-2019 07:48 PM

Your quilt is really pretty,If you feel like quilting it more go for it. I have always loved a quilt that just puddles around me. I have quilted about 30 quilts for my girls, I really like the lighter quilting. I think heavily quilted quilts are stiff. Most of my friends laugh when I say this. But to each her own.

Thanks all for the lovely comments. I’ll post another photo when I am done (again!)

Fun play with transparency effects.
