    I think exactly the same! btw it's a lovely quilt and surely when you'll have it ready you'll like it more! It's pleasant!

    Hey, JT, the quilt is lovely and very feminine. It's definitely a winner. I always enjoy your style.

    I think it's pretty. Someone just showed a quilt like this in the same colors.

    I agree, it is very pretty and the colors are soothing! I'd sleep under it very peacefully!!

    PLEASE don't give up on this one, it's very, very beautiful and has some truly calming and comfy colors! I noticed you have a darker/brighter pink in the fabric, you could do a grey border 1 1/2", then finish with the brigter pink, therefore accentuating both pinks in the top. And I'll fight Vicky and Granny Fran for it, LOL! Very, very nice job you did here, by the by!

    We have seen a lot of illusions quilts, obviously. Yours is very refreshing and unique and soothing! It may not be what you were shooting for, but this is what has happened. When I first saw the picture, I thought to myself, sigh, that's a lovely and peaceful quilt! Thanks for creating it....can I fight for it, too?

    Personally I think it is beautiful. Then my husband said "oh hey thats cool! It's like one of those street drawings and some one comes across it and think they are going to fall in!" Then i tell him it is an illusion quilt in progress and she doesn't think it is turning out right. So he says "oh yeah it is, its going to be pretty"and proceeds to conquer the universe in the video game hes playing. Its illusion quality is there, it's just a softer version of one
    Finished is way better than perfect!
