Your quilt is just gorgeous!!!!! Each layout is beautiful on its own.

No. 3 knocks me out, but I also love the plain one - I can see that one
with the roses as the border and maybe 2 pillowshams of the roses.

What a Quilt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Barb, I guess you have a consensus!! What a beautiful quilt---how could ANYONE say it is kinda ugly????? Just not seeing it as anything but fantastic!!

They are all beautiful but I would have to say that I like #3 best as well.

b.zang

Yup, another #3er. I think it's because you added the wallhanging with the roses in the middle.
What makes that wall hanging an HD wall hanging? Are roses associated with HD?

I think all look good, but I do like #3 the best.

nellie

it,s pretty barb ,but what if you change the color around the big block in center to make it pop out before you finish it just a throught, beauitful blocks good work

I'm calling it an hd wallhanging because the wallhanging i am giving as a gift to the hd clinic at ubc to be hung on the wall in the waiting room, as a thank you for all they've done for me, and the roses, i just made that up myself. The wallhanging will have a poem on the label that will say this:
I am a rose that has no stem, but i am not alone
Many leaves surround and care for me, and help me through life's storms
I am a rose, and i have Huntington's Disease
And someday soon, all roses will have stems

So it's just something i made up. And the queensize quilt, that i'm struggling with now lol, is going to be a raffle quilt, and the money will go directly to the Michael Haeyden lab at ubc, he's one of the top researchers in the world working on hd :) And im going to make an annual raffle quilt.

Thank you so much everyone4 for your ideas. Funny when you have a bunch of blocks, and think they're gonna look a certain way, but then you lay them out and oh crap lol lol

I agree with everyone, i'm working on adding a burgandy border around the centre part, just like the wallhanging, that will make it pop more, and im making a few more changes too, that i will lay out and show you guys when i have them done :) :) :)

Sharon, hd is, it's huntington's disease, im in the eqarly stages, but doing real good, it's kind of like a mix between alzheimers and parkinsons :) :) :)

Barb - it will make a beautiful raffle quiilt, and I hope it raises a LOT of money! I'm glad to hear you're doing well, and I hope you continue that way. I still think you're being too hard on yourself about the look of the quilt - it's quite lovely! And it will be even lovelier when you add the burgundy inner border and quilt it.

Barb, your poem for the label on the hd wallhanging is soo meaningful. I just know the clinic nurses and drs. will love it and appreciate the sentiment. You are one special lady!
