I Hate This Quilt Top
#51
This may be painful, but if you dislike it that much, the solution may be to give it away. It will please some one else. As witnessed by what we see on this QB, one quilter's yuck is another quilter WOW! It will warm the heart and body of someone else and release you from trying to make this one please you.

Misty - Your quilt is really well done -it reminds me of some of the civil war quilts with muted fabrics. You should
probably not change anything but if you really want to liven it up, then I agree with Billi's suggestion.
Add a floral border and fussy cut some of the flowers in the border print to appliqué in either the cream or the navy sections.
I personally would simply quilt it and set it aside. If it still doesn't appeal to you then donate it or sell it on eBay.
Still it is an achievement and I can understand your not wanting all that work to go to waste.
Best of luck - Judy

I agree that a touch of red, maybe the border, would brighten it up.
