    Default You Win Some, You Lose Some

    I had high hopes for this black and white quilt, but I shouldn't have put the bold print in. I thought it would break things up a bit, but it doesn't work. Oh well...some charity will be pleased to have it once I get it quilted.

    The picture doesn't do the colours justice. The lighter long strip is actually pure white with a swirl in it.

    Monochromatic and very modern. I think I might get it quilted up and enter it in a couple of fairs this summer and then donate it if it still doesn't appeal to you. I kind of like the bold print. It attracts my eyes--unless that wasn't the result you were going for.

    I disagree—The bold print was not a mistake. It gives a lively pick-me -up on an otherwise serious look.

    Unless you physically can see the quilt, it is difficult to determine whether it is too bold. From the computer It doesn't appear too bold. I like it. You can always send it my way if you decide you really don't like it. Things tend to grow on you after a while so who knows one day you might just love it.

    I also like the bold print! Gives the quilt a quirky vibe.

    It's very pretty, and I like the bold print. When I imagine the quilt without it, it looks kind of blah. I believe every quilt needs a little zinger to avoid looking blah.
