Fugly Orange Baby Quilt
#54
I don't think it's ugly! You just have to wait for that person to come along who happens to love very bright, bold colors. Also, it doesn't necessarily have to be a baby quilt, it could also be a nice couch or lap quilt, especially for someone who needs something bright and cheerful to wrap up in!

I think it's cute...maybe add some yoyo flowers here and there, as if they're coming out of "vases" (the rectangular areas) in complementary colors, of course...maybe in different shades of pink if it's a girl? Maybe add little applique trains to the rectangles if it's a boy? (sure hope that gal at work doesn't read this forum! lol)

Very rarely do we have perfection and anything hand made in my opinion can be imperfect. I think that what is most important is the thought behind the process and in this case, a well meaning purpose. I think that your quilt is lovely. I can see what you are concerned about but with time and use, these imperfections will go unnoticed. I agree with the others about gifting a quilt to your liking for this person at work. I would be concerned about the impression you would give to people at work if they think you are giving a quilt that is not as nice as the ones you have given before. If I was the receiving party, it would not bother me in the least! I would be so happy but I could't say for your colleague. Best wishes.

Orange is my least favorite color and I use it sparingly for some pop. However, I think that is a great quilt. I'd give it to charity since you don't like it. Someone will love having it. I'd also give a quilt you do like to the person at work.
