I'm with everyone else. Love the star, just beautiful. The border on the other hand, doesn't fit. I agree a dark color for the border would be great. Please let us see the finished quilt after you rework it!

Yep, me, too! The star is great, but redo the borders. Maybe you were just tired when you didn't like it. I've done things like that...

Let us know what you do. :-)

I think its pretty But ive never seen an ugly quilt they all seem to grow on me. How big is it? Im a long arm quilter who is pretty inexpensive if you dont want to tie it.
Seriously I like it, so others will too!

I really like it and that's usually not my fabric palette. I'll join the list of people willing to take it :)

I also like your quilt. It does need a solid color border though. Try the solid brown you have in the quilt, or one of the other solids, the blue or red.

I think if you take off the two borders and put something else, like bright pink, it will look much better. It's probably those borders making it look odd.
