I was inspired by BellaBoo's post about not wanting to work on a quilt because she didn't like it.

So here is mine. My mother will have nothing but brown in her house or her clothes. So of course she wanted a brown quilt. She also wanted one made with just little strips. Later, I found out she wanted a log cabin. :roll: I swore off brown forever after this one!
Feel free to post your most unloved quilts here.

I can see why you perhaps wouldn't want to make another brown quilt, but this is beautiful. It isn't ugly, just not my colour scheme, and possibly not yours, but I am sure your mom likes it, if it is her favourite colour.

personally I like it too. I also like the pattern. even though you did not like making it I think you did an awesome job. Is it just the colors or the pattern as well you were not fond of?

I can understand not liking to work on color schemes that do
not appeal to us, personally though!! I bet she just loved it :D :D :D

You did a fantastic job for not liking the colors you were given to work with. Bet your Mom has some good dreams under that quilt. Browns remind me of Autumn and fall(that might be your Mom's favorite season). Thanks for sharing.
