the colors looked good until I sewed them together-then I thought yuk.it is folded here but is queen sized and I cannot make myself finish it.

Can you applique or embroider into the green areas something that will bring some brown into it?

Oh, please finish it. I like it. When it is quilted it will be so nice:) Almost a tranquil feeling.

The colors do look good. I think you need more contrtast, however.

I agree.

maybe that is the problem I usually need sunglasses to look at my quilts,lol tranquil is good just not what I usually do

How about a black border? Might just make it "pop".

And quilt it with dark brown thread!
I like it,too.

yes I love black

yes I have a dark brown thread thanks

What about cutting the blocks diagonally, corner to corner, then adding co-ordinating color-ways triangles to each block and putting the resulting blocks together with sashing.

This way you would have two quilts, :lol: then should you decide you still do not want to finish the quilt(s)..... they would make really great silent auction donations for your Guild. :thumbup:
Edited to read: cutting the quilt apart at each block, instead of taking out seams( then re-do as above)....

great idea.no guild here I live in the boonies

I think the black border and black quilting in the brown would really bring out the colors. It is a beautiful quilt, just like a cake, it needs frosting.

The right quilting can make that little guy an heirloom if it's done right...

It is really hard to find a quilt that has masculine appeal. I think you will have it if you quilt it in dark brown thread. That will give movement to the plain brown paper sack looking fabric. I also liked the idea of embroidery or something to tone down the green. Trust us, and finish it.
