The pattern is very interesting and the project well done. You are making someone whose taste is different from yours happy. Think how you would feel if you made her a quilt that was your taste and it just didn't fit her decor-it would hide in the closet and you would feel bad. This way you got to make her a treasure and it makes her surrounding to her taste. I asked my DIL to choose fabric for a quilt-she did and loves it-but it is not my taste but is beautiful in their home.

Where is the "ugly"? It may not be your style or fabric choice, but your finished product is a work of art. It is truly original, and you should be bursting with pride that you created it by yourself and that someone dear to you will enjoy it for a long, long time.

The pattern is by Lawry Thorn(Stitchin Post Publications) called "Contempo."
I agree! What is the name of the pattern and where could I buy it? Someone on here said it looks almost Oriental and I can see that too. Actually I have some Oriental fabric that I had no idea what to make with it... and if this pattern is available I would love to make one using that fabric. I can also envision this made using vintage, scrappy fabrics. I don't think its ugly, I love it! Will greatly appreciate any info you can share.

The pattern is cool, and I think you did a great job. My only observation is that those lovely fabrics seems to all get smooshed together, and you can't appreciate how pretty they are. Perhaps it doesn't look so one dimensional in person.

What I really think is that it's not really my style either, but I love the pattern. Congrats for finishing something you really didn't have your heart into. I had to do one recently for a friend. I didn't really care for the fabrics she picked or how she wanted it pieced together. Nice work!
