You already know that Maria will l-o-v-e this quilt, no matter what, so just relax and have fun with it! It is very soft and pretty and, best of all, full of delights for Maria to explore. It is fabulous.

I think it's just part of paying our dues to discover what we DO love. :-) Maybe if you pulled the center block and replaced it with a block similar to the others you would be happier with it? You could turn the center block into a pillow to go with the quilt. Or maybe use it as part of the backing?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7228766516631948273.post-60726142062814872002015-06-19T21:42:37.877-07:002015-06-19T21:42:37.877-07:00Well, its certainly bright and busy - but I really...Well, its certainly bright and busy - but I really like it! Its got a kind of crazy kid colouring book colours kind of vibe. <br />I like the idea of some plain neutral striping across it to give the colourful blocks a little breathing space. But truly is is great!

When I hit a wall with any sewing, I do find it helps to walk away for a few days and then I'll either come up with a solution to my problem, or realise it wasn't as bad as I thought. Would adding a solid colour to the mix, to maybe separate the blocks help?Pam @Threading My Wayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15990609128028224347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7228766516631948273.post-55925132298559811922015-06-19T01:52:56.123-07:002015-06-19T01:52:56.123-07:00This is such a fabulous idea!

Sometimes a bit of input really helps me find perspective, and I am thinking Maria might be able to do that for you. *quilty hugs*Yvonne from Quilting Jetgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15705160384198590025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7228766516631948273.post-52878654590849150362015-06-18T15:26:49.890-07:002015-06-18T15:26:49.890-07:00I love the new blocks Sally.

I see what you mean about the middle of the quilt, that middle block does stand out compared to the rest, but since it is in the middle maybe that is okay??? I am not a quilter, so I honestly have no idea :) <br /><br />Maybe a few days away from it, will bring you back with a fresh perspective...just a thought.Kim https://www.blogger.com/profile/08476209107377395745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7228766516631948273.post-57835351838620279092015-06-18T15:03:32.704-07:002015-06-18T15:03:32.704-07:00The middle block is sort of the odd man out, but i...The middle block is sort of the odd man out, but it does serve as a sort of focal point. The red seems a bit bold compared to the surrounding fabrics, which isn't necessarily a bad thing! I feel like we all hit moments in projects where things just don't seem to work. Have faith in it, it is coming together wonderfully! :) We are our own worst critics, so that is easier said than done sometimes.

The other thing you could try if you're not feeling the love for it might be some quite neutral sashing between the blocks which might give them room to breathe!Carie @ Space for the Butterflieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13060566680311122115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7228766516631948273.post-39369783744641316442015-06-18T14:12:58.562-07:002015-06-18T14:12:58.562-07:00Its fab and very Maria, but its the middle block t...Its fab and very Maria, but its the middle block that's making it not work.
