I will jump in on the side of some interesting quilting pattern by a longarmer! I really like the quilt and often times I too don't like my quilt tops so much until they are quilted and bound. I like the way there is movement with the navy on a sea of calm creamy fabric.

I agree with barny. It is a very pretty quilt. Once you quilt it I'm sure your feelings will change. Then if you still really dislike it then gift it or donate it

Hi Misty. I think the quilt top itself is lovely but for me the thing that popped out was the borders need to be changed to frame and give definition to the quilt. I had a quilt which was very complicated (for me) and when I had the top pieced without borders I was so disappointed I just did not like it. Once the borders were on it just fell into place. I think you need to have a dark frame on the quilt. Would love to hear how the quiting goes.

I love your quilt top. Try talking to some of the LAQ's on the board about how you can make the quilt become one of your favorites. Feline Fanatic, Charisma, BeckyST, Harcapani to name just a few.

You could turn it patriotic and appliqué red stars on it.

I don't see anything wrong with it! Well done and the colors fly well together. Just get it quilted and you'll probably like it a lot.
