O.K. here are a few photos. I can't seem to capture the true color of
the middle stripe that is a light salmon pink. I was trying to match
a color in the berries on the print fabric. (I made the stripes the
same width) The red is a cherry red and the green is very dark. I
had planned on putting a light olive green narrow border around the
whole thing and then a wider border of the salmon pink, followed by
binding in the print fabric. All I can see is an off color Italian
flag! lol

I like it. However, I think a dark green border would be much better than a
pink one. Quilting will also change the look some. If you still hate it,
I'd be more than happy to give it a home.

I really expected something truly ugly, but it's not....I rather like it!
I'm working on a warm wishes right now for a baby gift. Recently, I
received blocks from an internet group that I belong to. I didn't specify a
color, just the pattern. Well, when those blocks were sewn together, it was
TRULY ugly! I ended up taking it all apart, cutting the blocks into smaller
pieces, adding sashing, and reassembling. I still think it's ugly, but it
did tun out to be a wonderful place to practice my free motion quilting! I
think it may find a home in the back end of my car!

Not my taste either, but looking at it I can think of half a dozen people I
know who'd think it's lovely.
As others have said, you can't tell until the quilting's done
anyroad.....I've had a number of quilts I thought I'd detest, but once they
were quilted, they were somehow transformed.

Thanks gals, I'll keep plugging away at it then. If I've got enough
dark green, I'll try a border with that. I'll post a photo at
completion but it'll be awhile. It's harder working on ugly than it
is on super duper cute! Donna
