    Default Whew! Hardest quilt top I think I've done...

    My first Judy Niemeyer top, her pattern "Briar Patch." But I've been calling it "Hot Mess" because it is so crazy with all the fabrics and colors. Still need to add borders, but I've been working on it for a while and got this main part put together today finally, and wanted to share.

    p.s. If you think it really is a hot mess, I welcome constructive criticism. But if you like it, I would appreciate that, too, as my confidence was stretched to the limit on this one. (the more pink hues in the top left are coming out more coral colored in the photo than in real life) Whew!

    Just keep saying "after this .. I can do anything". It came out beautiful. Now so something simple before the next challenge. That's how I get my mind clear.

    Thank you....pretty much picked colors as I did various sections, since I don't have EQ or other software to really know what it would look like. About 40-50 fabrics in there. My sewing room and living room look like a fabric shop spewed everywhere!
    The next quilt will be simpler. LOL
