I think your colors are lovely and the layout is just right. No one would examine the quilting as closely as you and it looks perfect for wrapping around you as you watch tv this winter.

What is OBW? I can make out some of the abbreviations I see on the board, but this is a new one for me.

Susy,
I think your quilt is beautiful! If you really hate, you could donate it to an organization that takes charity quilts. Someone would love to have it.

Don't be so hard on yourself. You put a lot of work into it and I think it's lovely. The fabric is really pretty and I like what you did in the border. If you really hate it, I'll be happy to take it off your hands!

Don't see where the problem is. Think it is pretty. Like your fabric and choice of color.

One Block Wonder (??Marie Rosenthal, one fabric-preferably a large print, the pattern is all in the cutting!) One of my favourites because I am not good at picking fabrics that go together well.

The OBW in blue is so lovely, you are unhappy with the quilting, as you say, but doesn't it look better when draped or spread on a bed? Very upsetting when your vision doesn't come to fruition. Hugs.
