Hvis jeg skal give mit bud, så er den lyserøde lidt for dominerende og på den måde forsvinder den næsten i sig selv og de enkelte stoffer kommer ikke til deres ret. Så jeg tror der skal noget mere hvidt med i quilten. Ikke nødvendigvis helt hvidt, men mønstrede stoffer hvor hvid er den dominerende farve.<BR/>Håber at det kan hjælpe dig. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2302981936196609202.post-13550061912299625492009-02-18T22:47:00.000+01:002009-02-18T22:47:00.000+01:00I don't think that you should give up at all - thi...I don't think that you should give up at all - this quilt has potential, but I agree with your opinion that it's not quite there yet. I think you just need to take a step back and look at it very objectively. See where things clash, and where things blur into each other too much. For instance, I personally don't really like the red and white rabbit fabric with the rest of the pinks. I also think that a lot of the prints are very similar, and I personally don't like the taupe-coloured ones - either there are too few of them, or they could be placed better. Definitely don't give up. Just cut more fabric and keep re-arranging and playing with it. Perhaps you need more plainer squares, to lighten the business of the patterned ones, for instance.<BR/>good luck! it will look beautiful.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2302981936196609202.post-36464335613878330682009-02-18T19:58:00.000+01:002009-02-18T19:58:00.000+01:00me pasa con un osito que estoy haciendo, cada piez...me pasa con un osito que estoy haciendo, cada pieza suelta no resulta bonito y te digo lo siguiente: la costura también es mágica, la puntada de la máquina ennoblece una labor, a veces coso a mano y queda muy crafty pero envidia la pulcritud de las cosas a máquina. Pues primero coses los cuadros, les pones el relleno y después? no crees que al coser por encima haciendo un acolchado bonito (tú sabrás hacerlo en ondas en círculos concéntricos, en eses, en lo que se te ocurra) de verdad que crees que al final te quedará mal? Yo creo que el truco consiste en el interior mullido y quizás si quedase bien en la puntadas a lo quilt. Pero si aún dudas pues utiliza entonces otra tela blanca entre las piezas y rodenando la mantita. Creo firememente que te quedará bien al final, hagas lo que hagas!Olivia_phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07935132491396754816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2302981936196609202.post-81425535055576250752009-02-18T11:55:00.000+01:002009-02-18T11:55:00.000+01:00I think so about having a plain fabric and make tw...I think so about having a plain fabric and make two projects, maybe not another quilt, but one patchwork bag-for-all or a little one for carrying Astrid food or things for a walk...<BR/>The fabrics are beautiful... you'll know how to rearrange them, I am sure.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2302981936196609202.post-35425997960003113292009-02-18T08:47:00.000+01:002009-02-18T08:47:00.000+01:00I think the squares are all great = perhaps you sh...I think the squares are all great = perhaps you should consider 2 quilts - choose your favourite squares that you think go well together and buy some plain fabric to go in between - cream or white, something to bring out the lovely patterns that you have!

I think that maybe there is too much competition between the blue and the brown. What if you tried it with just pinks/browns (no blue) and then just pinks/blues (no brown) . . .<BR/><BR/>Just a thought.Ranihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09574603384659982547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2302981936196609202.post-61938742706697902452009-02-17T21:18:00.000+01:002009-02-17T21:18:00.000+01:00I really know how you feel.

I think it was the perfectionist in me, because I just decided to plough ahead and when I finished I was very pleased. I hope you will work through this to find a wonderful solution!
