What looks ugly to you is a work of art to others, I know because I posted a quilt a long time ago in here and had over 100 posts about how gorgeous it was and all I saw was Ugly. Your quilt is really nice, I happen to love the color choices.

I love it! Looks all little man not 'baby'. they do grow out of 'baby' awful quick. I know a certain 2 year old little man who would think 'baby' is gross but would go for that one. He only will wear button down shirts with a pocket like daddy - thinks he is just a little man.

I like it ..... but if you're not comfy with giving it, don't. Sometimes our instincts are our best nudge. Certainly don't think it's ugly though...just didn't turn out how you had hoped. And I bet we've all had a time when something turned out less-than-expected!

It's growing on me -
It has great design features - the colors and layout are very balanced.
I think it's a quilt that would either be loved a lot or not liked very much.
It would be one I would be comfortable letting the little one actually use!

Hubby has been encouraging me to give it anyway, as it's a nice usable cozy quilt, but is it too darned ugly to give away?
