Ive promised to make a quilt for my sister. She picked the fabric. her hubby picked the pattern. i made the first block and couldn't stand it. so I sent her a pic. her reply was "I love it". What should I do? What do you think?? How can I make a King sized quilt of this when I HATE the combo?

I know it is hard to work on a quilt you don't like. If they don't have a deadline maybe work on a couple of blocks a day or something like that. If this is someone special to you just try to think of how she is going to love this even if you don't. Think of the good things you do together. It is a mind thing with me!!
If you are using Eleanor Burns version with her ruler this should go fast. |
Well, I don't know what the entire quilt is supposed to look like but I have to agree with your sister........I too love it but I'm also addicted to batik. What is it that bothers you? The color combination?

Remind yourself who it's for, why you are doing it, and put a picture up of sister beside one of the blocks. It will make you smile to know that it's what she wants and that you are able to give it to her. ;)

I love it....maybe you can do as dakotamaid suggested and try another block style...maybe put the same color in the second round of points instead of mixing them..just a thought.

I think it will be spectacular.It may grow on you the more you work on it.

I think it's pretty too.
Why not make another test block and just using the purple and the blue/purple swirly fabric. See how that looks. Maybe save the third fabric for a border. |

I think it is stunning, your sister will love it. Like someone suggested put a pic of your sister on the table while you are working on it and think of how much she will cherish it.
