    I agree with the other posters who like it and think you're entirely too tough on yourself. I think that once it's quilted, you will have an entirely different feeling about it. I suspect you will be thinking "Ooooh. . . pretty!" Please show it to us again once it's finished!

    All I see is a beautiful quilt. I'm new to quilting and so don't see the problem that you see and I bet the person who gets this won't see it either.

    Most people are too hard on themselves. Ok, so you're not a big fan. It's time to put on your big girl panties and deal with the issue at hand. What did you learn from this?

    1. Square your blocks before you sew them.
    2. When thinking about a design, do you want the colors to blend or contrast?
    3. Take your time, use your seam ripper if needed.
    4. Fix what you can, don't fret over what you cant.
    5. Very few quilts are easy.

    Finally, I see nothing wrong with your quilt. Like some other QB members have said in the past, take a few steps back, and look at it again. It looks nice to me.

    You have a couple of choices about what to do with this quilt. Keep it or donate it. Either way you will learn from it, for sure. At the risk of sounding corny, pm me if you want to donate it to someone who you wont run the risk of seeing it again. I will gladly take it off your hands...I'll even pay shipping!

    This is a bear of a pattern!!! Not the best for a beginner. Been there done that. Tried to use this for a guild program. Very
    confusing.

    I love the colors! It will straighten out when you sew on borders. Make sure the borders are measured perfectly and then ease in the top as you sew.

    It's such a busy pattern that your "goofs" won't show. It's pretty!

    So..... did you ever finish this one? I'll bet it turned out beautifully - I read your note, but when I looked at the picture, all I saw was a soft and pretty quilt top.

    I absolutely love this quilt. We see our mistakes since we are the ones making them but your quilt is so gorgeous I promise you are the only one who will see them. BEAUTIFUL colors.
