All very good points, Edna. I think the crux of the matter is loving
the black, red, and white quilt, and I really do. :-)
Best regards,

I have a harder time working on a quilt when the colors aren't ones that I
favor, and then I find myself dragging my feet more. Or I am more content to
let it just sit for long periods of time.

Hi Trixie,
Yes, I've learned not to make quilts with colors that I don't care for.
After one sat in my closet unfinished for years, I finally sold it on
ebay. It was a beautiful quilt, but the colors just didn't sing to me.
That said, it doesn't apply to the black, red, and white quilt. I do
love the colors. Was just flummoxed by it's failure to match anything.
Fortunately, as usual, the RTCQers are straightening me out. :-)
Best regards,
Michelle in Nevada

Howdy!
It's what we do, Michelle,
straighten people out, beg for the difference. ;-P
As Queen of the Beggars, I'm surprised there haven't been more
"send it to me!" submissions; somehow we must have known that

you do love the colors of this quilt. <g>

LOL! Yes, you all must have known I DO love the colors. Just glad
"matching" isn't it a requirement. ;-) I'm looking forward to quilting
it, but have another to do ahead of it--which I'll be doing by hand. On
the black, red, and white one, I'm going to do a mix of hand-quilting
and machine stitch in the ditch.
Best regards,
Michelle in Nevada
