If I had additional yardage that's what I would do, along with making more blocks, in the floral. I know I may like it better once it's quilted. I hope anyway.

I see crosses and if you stand at the corner it looks like X's. I wish I would have used my Cottage Joy for this pattern. I may still use it, but then I know I want like this one even more.

My librarian likes it! want

You have beautiful plus's (as others have said can be enhanced with quilting) and the 8 pointed star. I would be proud of it - but, you have to live with it. You could always send it to me LOL!

I made this quilt last year and since I wanted it to be larger I added sashing and cornerstones. It’s still not quilted yet and about a week ago someone posted a picture of their quilt like this with straight lines quilting (which looked really nice)! Maybe someone can add the link because I don’t know how.

I think I saw the one you're speaking ofhttp://quiltingboard.com/pictures-f5...ml#post8179001. That was my inspiration for the pattern.

Now mine really looks bad

I think it is very pretty and will look great after quilting.

Pretty. I like the contrast of the bright white against the muted colors of the charm packs. I think if you use the right variegated thread on the quilting, and use a small quilting pattern you'll like it better. I'm usually not happy with my quilt tops, and then when I pick up the quilted final project, I love it. For me, the quilting makes the quilt.

I think the quilt would look more like what you expected if you added floral sashings between the blocks, and maybe a floral border all around.

Same here...I really like the pattern. I am amazed (more like jealous) how much you got pieced in four days... I wish I could spend more time in my sewing room. I think it is going to look wonderful once it is bordered and quilted.
