    I love that quilt! The light pink brings out the D4P, and complements the colors in the dark floral.
    For quilting I would SID around all the sashings and borders, then FMQ each block (squiggles and meanders would do), and then make vines with leaves in the outer large border. Some of this in the sashings would look nice also.

    This quilt is not ugly. I made a quilt I thought ugly but when I quilted it everyone loved it. I get more compliments with that one then any I've done. Just do some neat quilting and you will see. Just keep looking at it and an idea of how you want to quilt will come.

    If this is ugly you can send it to me! I love it, love the colors the pattern and all. It is beautiful.

    Not ugly at all. Agree about the pink that everybody says. I agree about flowers. Maybe even a dark pink thread.

    You might try picking out one of the other colors in your border,
    hold that color next to your quilt and see which one makes it
    stand out the most. After you make that decision, change your
    border and you have saved your quilt and will still be happy with it.

    I don't know why you don't like it--to each his own. I really like this quilt. Personally, I think a brighter pink would detract. I love it!

    Hi Gayle's Quilts, It is rrue it needs a little 'lift' you could quilt it with a dark pink thread or a metalic thread,and maybe bind it in a green taken from the floral fabric.It is well pieced so not ugly at all -- take heart.Love Letty

    not ugly at all, just doesn't pop that much. Someone will just love it, so be sure to finish it.
