I think your additions are wonderful and they make it look more like something you would make. What size is it?<br /><br />Well, now, the mulberry one is something altogether different.

Must be someone who will love that quilt that first quilt you posted, that you say you hate.<br /><br />I've made a few that I liked, but grew to hate because I "overworked" the art work in them to the point of feeling like they were ruined because of it. I did this one that was wonderful, but couldn't leave it alone. (laughing) It had this girl with wild hair on a background of pieced circles in gorgeous fabrics. And I messed up her eyes because I just couldn't leave it alone. Thought I could make it better. Boy, was I wrong and wished I'd just left it alone. This is after it was quilted that I tried tweaking it. And back then, I was still paying someone else to quilt my quilts. I cringe thinking about it. Now, if I'm not totally happy with some art work, it won't get appliqued onto the background. Or if I'm not happy with the background, then I won't waste art work on it. Even if everyone else thinks it's fine, if it bugs me when I'm working on it, I know I won't be any happier down the road!<br /><br />It's a process, I guess (sigh).Beenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14927516866270017716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6144285181690901438.post-73300978387508366832009-05-27T18:04:25.085-05:002009-05-27T18:04:25.085-05:00What do you do with those quilts that you end up n...What do you do with those quilts that you end up not liking? I have an Amish twin size quilt that I have come to despise! It is entirely hand quilted-in for a penny, in for a pound!<br /><br />Thanks for the pics. I enjoyed the ones of your house too-it looks very friendly and cosy there:)Libby Fifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13532162740012986996noreply@blogger.com
