    Default Any suggestions to make this quilt top pop?

    I made this quilt top several years ago and then put it away unfinished because I thought it looked, well, blah. Does anyone have any suggestions on something that can be done to this to improve the looks of it? I want to get my UFO pile whittled down some.

    Did you forget to post your photo??? So easy to hit that Quick Reply instead of Go Advance.

    Have you posted a photo before. Keep trying. Make sure you dimensions are correct on the photo. I usually downsize my photos size and DPI when I transfer the photo from camera to computer.

    No, just can't seem to post picture from Mac (even with instructions from those that have done so)

    Maybe you can describe it? If it is a simple pattern in uninspired colours, sometimes an appliqué can make all the difference.

    Describe it? BLAH LOL White on white background with various shades of green for tree tops (made somewhat like braid) with brown trunks. Set on point with brown sashing. First border is a narrow one of green, next small border in same brown as sashing and then a wider green (matches the first border). Like I said….blah I WILL get this posting pictures thing down. Someone suggested that I email the picture to myself and then post to here. But I don't know how to get it here after I email it to myself! I am sooooo illiterate when it comes to computers!

    This might work. Mail the pic to yourself in the smallest format. Save that pic to your iPad with a new name or just add sm or 2 to the original name. Do a quick reply on this thread, Go advanced, Find your pic, hit the upload key, post the message. This works on a pc. Should but may not work on a MAC product.

    Someone posted a quilt with tree blocks and bear paw blocks with black bear appliqués. I wonder what a large black bear silhouette appliqué would look like along the bottom corner?
