I just broke my needle. Grrr...should have invested in some new needles when I picked my machine up from the repair guy. Opps. :/

Could it be that you believe this quilt to be "gastly" because of the headache the flying geese gave you, so when you look at it you fell that same drudgery of making them? You are not alone in that predicament.

I put together a Log Cabin quilt early in my learning curve. Seems simple. But I made it for my Queensized bed. too ambitious for my skills. I also didn't understand the dark-light value of colors. I thought a dark color was dark and a light color was light. Not so. So, it was hideous to me to say the least. Other people thought it was lovely! It was 10 years before I actually made it into a quilt.
What I am too long winded to say is, put it aside if you need to to give yourself a new focus on it. But after a while only you will know if you want to sew with it anymore. Give yourself permission to end a project that doesn't work for you. Some other quilter who doesn't like to piece but likes to quilt will love it.

You may want to call them (flying geese) buzzards! Your quilt is very pretty.

Its a keeper! In the first photo, I didn't notice any of the unmatching seams. I like the colors you have used.

Not ghastly at all. Every pattern and quilt is a learning process. I have been quilting a long time and I learn something new with each one. I think your quilt is lovely. I love scrappy anyway. Watch Eleanor Burns videos and you-tube videos. The right tools help also. Invest as you can afford to do so. Another good source is Bonnie Hunters, Quiltville. Happy Quilting.

I think your colors are just gorgeous. Don't be hard on yourself as those blocks aren't the easiest. You can only tell when you look up close that they are off alittle, but I think that it looks fantastic!! Finish it and keep it for yourself.

It is not ghastly! It is very very nice! Your first?? It was a huge undertaking doing flying geese for your first quilt! I can understand your frustration. But your quilt turned out lovely in spite of the oopsies. I know you've learned a lot. Don't be discouraged! Don't give up! It is a great first flying geese quilt!!!!!!
