Love the texture and the pink rectangle on the top!<br />I have finished a struggle quilt lats week /call it adventurous actually and am blogging about it now. I think the twists and problems along the way make them more special. These off angles were just meant to be there. It is the special vibe and organic look .. you name it :)Ralitzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15373415790191851814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4126317057339121070.post-91826880308999848132014-07-29T10:18:01.456-06:002014-07-29T10:18:01.456-06:00I really appreciate when quilters (especially the ...I really appreciate when quilters (especially the really experienced ones) share their struggles - it makes me feel not quite as hopeless when I have to rip stuff out.

I am right now in the middle of a difficult quilt. It should have been so simple! I swear I will never make a quilt with flannel again! I will forge ahead and finish with your words encouraging me.

I bet, with so many mishappenings, it could just as easily have landed on the UFO pile. And if you haven't said something, I would have thought, that you chose different white backgrounds on purpose. I think it adds interest.

The scrappy binding is something I would like to embrace but I think it really works best on a quilt like yours with a lot of white space (even if the whites are off a bit :)) Great finish!Britt G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07719587323044089107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4126317057339121070.post-35018116073254223942014-07-26T18:52:45.740-06:002014-07-26T18:52:45.740-06:00Ditto what everyone else said.
