Wow-if it needs a new home, send it over to me...I can "babysit"....lol!

There is nothing ugly about this quilt! I think it's awesome! Getting it machine quilted will make it even better!

Beautiful quilt.

Do you think the blue that is in the 2nd boarder would be dark enough, Or would you go to something darker?

I love it....poor pretty quilty can come live with me if you're still not happy with it later.

Ya' did a marvelous job, too!

cindy4857 08-04-2011 02:44 PM

Your choice for a boarder was absolutly spot on! It's bright It's cheery It's well made, I'll take it! It looks like your looking out the window at a rainbow. I think it's a quilt that will be loved and admired for a long time.

It's not ugly! I like it, it's what a quilt should be. I'm all about geometry, symmetry and color coordination in quilting, but some days it's nice to see a pretty and scrappy quilt. Thanks for sharing.

xsquilter 08-04-2011 04:54 PM

Seriously, that is not ugly....it's fantastic! I sure hope it wins you over when quilted. You put a lot of work into that. Fabulous, just fabulous!

I just love it! If you're not crazy about it gift it to someone I bet they'll love it.

sandraa 08-04-2011 07:36 PM

Oksewnsew 08-04-2011 07:59 PM

OOHH my, that is gorgeous, not an ugly thing about it. Ummm, Labor Day is coming up, I'm originally from Illinois, does either count? it sure would make a nice gift to me, to me.. :lol: :lol: ;) It REALLY is pretty.

It never was ugly and I love your piano key border. Your cases for wrapping and presentation are a super idea, too. Lucky recipients and a great job. Show us it finished before it gets gifted. Thanks!
