You did a fine job on this quilt. At least you finished it even tho you hated it. That's more than I can say. I have a Hawaiian applique wall hanging that is 3/4's finished and I simply cannot bring myself to finish quilting it. Congratulations!

Did it ever occur to you that you might--just might-- be just a little hard on yourself? I think it's great! Quilters do tend to be hyper self-critical when it comes to our own work and full of praise for others work. That's one reason I like this site. :)

You truly are LOL funny! Another of your LOL comments was something about swinging a dead cat and hitting quilters with it...funny, funny!
I agree with you on the colors, but I really like the quilting that you've done on it!

Sounds like you made one of those quilts that you learned new things on. Plus remember it isn't about you. It's about your love for your sister. She probably looks at it and says, "My sister loves me so much. She made this beautiful quilt for me." :-)

My camera has a special setting for taking pics outside in bright sunlight,
but even so small prints and details still tend to get lost at times.
I still haven't figured out how to get the lil things to show up right tho.
I did take a few pics of a couple quilts I finished last week and did closeups
of the stitches and they turned out fine probly because it was cloudy that day. *shrugs go figure*
Maybe just try gettin a few closeups of the smaller prints.

it is a very old and tradional pattern, although not a very common one (i know why).
it's real name is "sister's choice".
in my house it's name is "sister can have it". :mrgreen:
