    UGH The colors are not my style

    Customer lap quilt, and I don't like the colors she chose. The pattern is ok but all together it not right. I have so much to learn about color. 20140115_234338.jpg

    I don't think it's that bad. It looks like a college quilt. She picked it, so don't fret

      If you took the pink out it would make great Austrian quilt - our national colours!

        Should that be Australian?

          I think it looks good. I have a lot to learn about colors myself.

            The colors are different - but I love the pattern! What about borders? A black border might help to frame it. Or one with a print that pulls all the colors together, but I am assuming she doesn't like prints since she chose all "solids". Either way, it looks like you did a really nice job of putting it together!

              If it is what the customer choose,, and sewed together, then they will LOVE it. Need more details on who made it.. and has it been seen by both parties.??? Personally I wouldn't have put yellow/gold with the other colors... but that is just me with my Color Theory of what goes with what...

                You did a beautiful job piecing it together. Maybe those are the favorite colors of the final recipient.

                  Looks like a Mardi Gras Quilt! When I made children's clothes...I was absolutely miserable sewing something that I didn't like. Sometimes the customer isn't always right, but hey, to each his own...that's what makes us all different!

                    Very nice piecing job... customer picked the fabrics... it's her quilt... if the check doesn't bounce... it's a perfect quilt right!!!

                      Love the pattern and you did a great job piecing this! The colors aren't me either, but I've made quilts for folks that pick their fabrics and they love them when they are done and that's all that matters. Your customer will love it too!
                      Thank you,

                        Looks okay to me, but I know what you mean. The design and piecing are great! I had that problem with one before and ended up telling her she would just have to trust me. Everyones tastes are different though. I just don't like spending that much time with a quilt that I don't love Not a lot of customer quilts for me!
                        To quilt or not to quilt?.....what a ridiculous question!

                          I really like it, but they are not colors I'd have ever chosen myself!!! Turned out nice!

                            That is really pretty! I wouldn't change a thing about it.

                              Not so bad, Not my choice of colors either but the quilt has it's own charm, and you did a great job, love the design.
