The Not-So-Ugly Quilt

Do you remember the quilt that I was working on that my husband was less than thrilled with?  He is smart enough to not come out and say it's ugly, but I think that is what he thought!  I think his comment was..."it's kind of bright"!  I guess he is used to seeing all of my projects in dark fabrics, so maybe this was just a little shocking (trying to give him the benefit of the doubt!).  Anyway, the quilt is finally finished and ready to go to its new home.

Not ugly at all!  I kind of like it, even if it is brighter than my norm!

Have a great weekend!

    Oh, where did I put my sunglasses? jk
    This may be bright compared to your usual, but this is not bright. Throw some Kaffe up on your design wall and then DH will appreciate this more. : )
    Personally--I love it! What a unique design. Nice job, Julie!

    I like it a lot! I don't think it is too bright, but just right. By the way, I got my scissor fob over the weekend and I totally love it!

    It's lovely! So charming. My husband does that too. Gets used to a certain look from my quilts and then doesn't quite know what to think.:)

    I agree...not ugly at all! It is fun to step out of our boxes every once in awhile.

    Love the combination of the two blocks - they're very similar - but different enough to make it interesting to look at. Like everyone else has said - it's not ugly OR bright!

    Very nice quilt in wonderful colors!! At least your hubby looks at your quilts. My hubby is currently golfing and then will be napping.

    I like the design of the quilt. Almost looks like circles.
