I think you are being too hard on yourself. So you won't be putting it in a judged quilt show. It is very pretty, the colors are beautiful. It is warm. Enjoy it and lesson learned for the future.

I agree! I think it looks fine!!!!!!

They can't all be our favorites! My "walk of shame OBW" sits in a box in many many pieces. Fabric choice was wrong wrong wrong. Seemed pointless to finish as the blocks read the same as the original fabric. Walk proud..you followed it through!

I haven't had the courage to try one of these yet but love yours. Would you tell me how you made the little flowers on your borders. Thanks.

Have for years as a matter of fact. We moved to an other home and I got a wonderful sewing studio but because of how the room is, under the rafters, I had to give up my design wall. consequently I never finished my OBW. I wished mine was finished even if it was not perfect. That is one very pretty quilt and I know you put hours into it. The only other thing I can think of is cutting it down or cutting it up to make pretty purses and jackets out of but I do not think you should.

I enter a obw in the fair and boy, did I learn all the things I did wrong. Ok, moving on. I love your quilt. Colors are very pleasing. I like what you did with the extra motifs, very creative. Take it out of the closet, winter is coming and you will need something to cuddle up in.
