UPDATE!! On I Hate This Quilt
 

Ya'll might remember my previous post about the quilt top I hated. Well, I took it all apart, turned the blocks, added more navy, then a red band because I didn't think the two navy's matched. Well, I really like it now. Now, if our new long arm will get here so my dh can quilt it. Yes, he wants to be the one to do the honors, after he practices a bunch :). The first pic is the before and the second is the after thanks for looking [ATTACH=CONFIG]519700[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]519702[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]519703[/ATTACH]

I agree that the second version is more appealing!

Very nice. I like both versions, but the second one I like the best.

Wow, you went to a lot of work to take the first apart, but your results are astonishing. Beautiful. (I have to admit that I like the first one too though....) But, the second really does look better...

I do like the second version better, but I would not have said no to the first, either.

that's a lot of work. I have to agree with you as I like the second one better. Nice job and how patient and determined you have been.!

The first one is just ok...the second one is snazzy!

Great job! That is quite an improvement and I wouldn't have said it needed improvement. I like the first one, but LOVE the final!

I love the 2nd one too. You must have a lot of patience. But it paid off. My husbands "motto" is never give up.

Wow! What a difference! I like #1, but #2 is really striking.
