I'm making a donation quilt for our grandkids' school silent auction. I agonized over a pattern, then chose this "twisted 9 patch". I wanted to mix up the colors all over it. Have I gone too far??

I've got all the squares made and joined into groups for QAYG. My plan after that is to add a white-on-white border, a colored border (one of the colors from the patches) and then another WOW border.

I don't want to be embarrased or to embarrass the kids with an "ugly" quilt! :roll:

What do you think?? :thumbup: :thumbdown: :thumbup: :thumbdown: :?:

I like it...It looks like fun!

I think it is great. Love the colors. I think a white border and then a dark purple border would be pretty. Do you know what your Wow border is going to be?

Very, very cute!! Love the colors!

I mean this in the nicest way possible, but I honestly think that there is no saving this quilt, the only thing you can do now is just send it to me and start over :-D :-D :-D :-D

I love it!!! I think your mix of colors makes it fun and keeps the eye moving through the quilt. I would not change a thing.

How could you embarass a kid with that quilt? They will LOVE it. and I am sure someone else will too. What a great idea for a block!

barnbum 03-15-2010 05:43 PM

No way is it too mixed up!! It's perfect!! It all matches and it's beautiful!

Pinkiris 03-15-2010 06:14 PM

You are so kind, I'm nearly in tears. When I showed it to my DH, he said "It's, um, what's the word? Whimsical?" I don't think I've ever heard him use that word!!!

I'll keep at it and post when I'm finished.

Thank you for all the support! You're the best!!

A very fun quilt...I like it..

watson's mom 03-15-2010 06:24 PM

If the grandkids or their school don't like it , I'll take it. I just love it and the arrangement of the blocks and the colours make it look like a happy quilt. Thanks for taking the time to share it.

mrspete 03-15-2010 06:27 PM

littlehud 03-15-2010 06:35 PM

I think it looks great. Wonderful colors and I like the borders you are planning on. Nothing to be embarrassed about here.
