If she comes in with a solid idea of what she wants then that is what she should be given. It is her concept and her quilt.

the customer should get what she wants even if it looks different than what you think it shoud be as long as her money is the right shade of green haha

I agree with all of the writers but here is another suggestion. Ask her if she would like the other colors ON THE BACK so she KIND of has TWO beautiful quilts! If she says no, do what she asks for (With half down deposit) and on the label, write designed by ===her=== crafted by ===you===! She will be thrilled by the acknowledgement alone! Good luck to you and let us see the results please. Happy New Year!

also beauty is in the eye of the beholder! I have seen quilts posted on this board that I thought were "ugly" but the maker thought they were lovely. I am sure others have thoiugh the same of mine!!!!!

I'd agree with Scissor Queen. It's not your quilt.

Trying to figure her concept behind the quilt...maybe she's thinking in terms of the state tree the "buckeye" which is brown and tan...if so,maybe you could suggest to her the buckeye either with or without leaves as corner squares...maybe she just didn't know how else to tie in both the "buckeye tree fruit" and the OSU buckeye emblem...just a thought....................

I agree with Jillianne. I would show her what it would look like. Non quilters just don't understand. My SIL who is an art teacher used to try to get me to put together some weird color combinations that just didn't work. He would talk all this color theory and complimentary colors etc. Some of that just doesn't work in a quilt.
TO add those colors to an OSU quilt just wouldn't look right. Most true OSU fans would die at adding brown or tan to anything OSU. Good luck educating her.
