    Movement is what it lacks to me! The more movement I can get in my blocks I seem to like better!

    Quilt4u, the question is, did DH like it? Is it the pattern you don't like, the fabric, the colors? I think it looks like a mans quilt. I actually like it.

    I would like to take a class on quilt design theroy. There is so much to think about when making a quilt besides accurate sewing. Color selection and color placement, and movement (what is that and how is it achieved). This venture is so expensive and time consuming it's so disappointing to make a quilt you don't like. I too am not going to do another mystery quilt because of the difficulty of choosing fabric withough knowing how the pattern looks. I've just finished one and will be modifying the first three rows because I don't like the way the colors blind with the other rows. I'm enjoying these posts and ideas.

    I agree, your quilt doesn't suit you. It does, however, suit me. I'll send you my address if you like. Beautiful.

    Fortunately, you realize what you don't like about your quilt. Of course, a top you don't care for can always be a back.
