I think it's really pretty. A soft, relaxing quilt that's just begging for someone to take a nap. (me, perhaps?)

The overall effect is very nice. I can see that you've put a lot of work into piecing different fabrics although it almost looks like you've sewn the same fabric back together. Gorgeous colours.

Yep.........but in nature it is better visible. It also helped that I handquilted the single segments with dark blue thread .
Thank you for the nice coments.

I really like it. The fabrics do tend to blend together, but the overall effect is wonderful. It almost has a marbled look to it. 8-) Love the quilting and your label. :thumbup:

That is a beautiful quilt, I love it. A true quilter will appreciate the amount of work you put into it because even with the colors flowing so nicely you can see the work you did. I like it so much that if it was a kit I would probably have to buy it! Just lovely.

Your quilt is very pretty. Love the soft colors. One of the problems with making quilts from packets is that the colors seem to be all the same intensity. You basically used all mediums in this. Next time try using lights, mediums, and some darks to get better contrast. I have made this same mistake, haven't we all!!

It's very, very pretty. Even though it's not quite what you were looking for, it turned out lovely. When you first start quilting it's hard to know what you're going to like in regards to fabric and pattern combos. It's something that you'll learn more and more as you quilt longer and longer. At least I think so. I'm still learning. :)

I find with a lot of Moda fabrics, a few pieces of the collection are great, but the whole collection isn't always good together. It's deciding on the few pieces that's the hard part! I've bought quite a few charm packs and layer cakes, but I've never been able to spring for the fat quarter packs. :)
