bee inspired quilt

I put together my quilt blocks from our bee inspired quilting bee, and I am having some serious doubts about my choice of layout, I kinda wish I would've used some sashing. Oh well, I don't ever redo, so hopefully I'll like it more once it's quilted and bound.

  3. I really like it w/out sashing - I like how the blocks seem to point at each other, like following a maze.

  7. It looks good without the sashing! I know how that goes though thinking you should of done something else once youve already pieced the whole thing together.

  12. No way, this quilt has such movement, I love it.

    If it was mine (and I know full well it's not) I would add another border with more triangles on blue. That's mostly because I'm not generally a border person so that dotted border jumps out at me.

  17. ooooh I like it! I have been getting bored of seeing everything sashed recently. It is fun to see the different patterns the blocks make next to each other.

  18. It looks beautiful! I don't think it needs any sashing. When I use sashing it is usually to frame a block. Yours looks like little fishies swimming around in a wintery pond.

  19. I love it! I love the carefree feel to it; the lack of perfect order is exactly what I love.

  20. I think it's great! I tend to shy away from triangles because my flying geese usually end up having a cut off beaks. Good job! It looks great!

  29. I really love the layout. I agree with Cheryl though. I would love to see another border with flying geese. I think it would really add something to an already great quilt.

  37. Nettie, this one is SO cool! It reminds me of one of those blankets little kids drive cars on. It is like a maze, so creative!!

    ReplyDelete
  38. no! I love how the background floats all the fabrics and pieces of the blocks.

    ReplyDelete
  39. I think the trouble is that there is not that much contrast in it, too many cream colored prints were used, and the whole pattern has been lost. Perhaps you wanted a quilt that was more subdued but I think contrast can really make or break a good quilt pattern. Just my two cents...no harm intended.

  40. I especially like all the pretty fabrics that flow throughout your quilt. Simply lovely, dear.

  41. I love the layout! Very nice, you've inspired me to do something with all my left over scrap triangles

  42. Sashing would have been nice; and, the current layout is great! Either, or your quilt top is fabulous!
